I agree with you guys who favor the clovers. Alfalfa is probably the better product, but its harder to maintain as a food plot crop, as it needs to be harvested. Other things to be considered, alfalfa cant be reseeded like clovers can. Another point, some mentioned alfalfa being more drought-resistent. I dont know if I agree with that, in the sense that for food plots aslow maintenance plots, clovers seem to bounce back as soon as theres rain, where alfalfa doesnt as well. I guess what I would say is, in an agricultural setting, with money not being the object, alfalfa would be the better choice. For a small plot, or a guy doing the best he can with some equipment, clover wins out. Also, I like chicory in it too. In fact, I like chicory over clover in some ways. Any fast growing plants are going to work. Dandelions are great deer feed, but not available commercially. Chicory is close. The best bet is to grow cover, and let your neighbor spend the money on food plots!
