Default RE: Never needs replanting?

If your talking about an agricultural crop, the answer is no. The longevity of a plant is based on the nutritional value it produces. We have noticed that we can get a maximum of 4 years from our clover fields. That is with the proper ph and fertilizer reccomendations. The nutritional value goes down each year, especially the protein content. We rotate our crops 1 year of corn, 1 year of beans and then 3-4 years of alfalfa/clover. Your highest protein will come from soybeans, it has about 44%. If your looking to produce large antlers and heavy deer, rotate your crops and pay close attention to your soil test reports. We soil test our fields about every 4 years. It is worth every cent.
