Alfalfa and clover plots are great options for a perennial food plot, but is one better than the other? Matt Dye of Land & Legacy shows us a side by side comparison of a midsummer clover plot and alfalfa plot and discusses the differences and benefits of both - and what you should take into consideration on your own property before planting.

Very good information and demonstration. Thank you.

Do you have any thoughts on cicer milkvetch and crownvetch? I'm thinking of making these 2 plants the main staples of my perennial food plot mixes. The main reason is they hold onto thier leaves late into the fall and early winter after hard frosts unlike most perennial forages like alfalfa and clover. They are commonly used for stockpile winter forage for livestock in some areas. In my region fall annuals are not an option due to summer/fall dry season and early frosts so only hardy perennials can provide adequate nutrition during hunting season.

We wouldn't recommend crown vetch as it is considered invasive in many states.

Deer love alfalfa, however I think it's awfully cost and maintenance prohibitive for the weekend warrior vs a clover plot.

@Whitetail_Properties Год назад

That is certainly an argument to be made..

Ladino clover has more protein in it than alfalfa does. But alfalfa produces more tonnage but frosts out early. Pros and cons to both but I choose clover. Deer hit my clover til December

@Whitetail_Properties 7 месяцев назад

For sure pros and cons to both.

I haven't done much research on alfalfa. Doesn't it go dormant in late fall / early winter?? I always want a strong food source during December and January so that's why I've personally stayed away from alfalfa. Can you plant other species into it, winter peas, brassica, cereal rye ect??

@Whitetail_Properties Год назад

It does go dormant in the winter months based on latitude. Typically it is a stand alone crop. Yes we agree, and that is where having grains or some fall annual plots on your property can give you that late fall/winter food source. Things like clover and alfalfa will feed deer in spring, summer and early fall.

@davidstephenson7194 Год назад

A mix of different plants is best because they mature at different times and produce continuous nutrition for deer and other animals. Monoculture produces limited time specific nutrition.

@Whitetail_Properties Год назад

Correct. We would certainly advocate for diversity on a property in general, but also in your food plots.
