so I have been lucky enough to get a couple years in row out of the same 1/3 acre field with brassica plantings. This year was the first year I noticed some pest problems so I am going to rotate. The ag fields that have alfalfa planted seem to draw deer well and am really considering planting it. One, is alfalfa worth all the extra money and effort? It does seem like it could provide more tonnage than clover and seems like it’s preferred over clover. Is it better to plant a pure stand of it or mix in small ratio of medium red clover? I will most likely be broadcasting for seed method. What has been peoples experience with it, seed rate experience, seed mix experience, how have you gotten a good established stand of it? I would like to get this in as a spring plot if possible but not sold on that idea if there is a better way. Thanks.
