Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a nutrient-rich, perennial legume widely grown for livestock forage and wildlife food plots. It provides high protein, long-term forage production, and soil improvement through nitrogen fixation.

Benefits for Wildlife

High protein content (15–25%) supports deer, turkey, rabbits, and pollinators.
Long-lasting perennial (3–5+ years) with proper management.
Drought-tolerant due to deep root system.
Attracts pollinators and small game while improving soil health.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Spring: March–May (after last frost).
    • Late Summer/Fall: August–September (at least 6 weeks before first frost).
  • Seeding Depth: ¼ to ½ inch (shallow planting is essential for good germination).

  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 12–15 lbs per acre using a no-till or conventional drill.
    • Broadcast: 18–20 lbs per acre, followed by dragging or cultipacking for soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity: 60–70 days for first full bloom, with multiple cuttings per season.

  • Drought Tolerance: High – Deep roots help withstand dry conditions.

  • Saturated Soil Tolerance: Low – Does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Prefers well-drained soils.

  • Shade Tolerance: Low – Requires full sun for optimal growth.

Fertilization Guidelines for Alfalfa

Alfalfa requires proper fertilization to maintain high yields, improve persistence, and support its nitrogen-fixing ability. Since it fixes its own nitrogen (N), fertilization focuses on phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).

Key Fertilization Needs

  • Soil pH: 6.5–7.0 (Apply lime if pH is below 6.2).
  • Phosphorus (P): 40–80 lbs P₂O₅ per acre per year for strong root development and energy transfer.
  • Potassium (K): 150–250 lbs K₂O per acre per year to improve winter survival and disease resistance.

Fertilization Timing & Application

  • Pre-Plant: Apply P, K, and lime based on soil test results.
  • Annual Maintenance: Top-dress P, K, and S in fall or early spring.

Herbicide Use for Alfalfa

Proper weed management in alfalfa is essential for maximizing yield and stand longevity. Herbicide selection depends on whether the crop is newly seeded or established, and if it is dormant or actively growing.

Key Herbicide Types & Timing

  • Pre-Plant & Pre-Emergence (Before or Just After Seeding)

    • Eptam (EPTC) – Incorporated before planting for annual grass and some broadleaf weed control.
    • Balan (Benefin) – Pre-plant incorporation for small-seeded broadleaf and grass weed control.
  • Post-Emergence (After Alfalfa Emerges or in Established Stands)

    • Raptor (Imazamox) – Controls grasses and broadleaf weeds in seedling or established stands.
    • Pursuit (Imazethapyr) – Selective broadleaf and grass control.
    • Velpar (Hexazinone) – Applied during dormancy for winter annual weed control (avoid sandy soils).
    • Metribuzin (Sencor) – Used during dormancy for residual broadleaf weed control.
    • Gramoxone (Paraquat)Burn-down herbicide for dormant alfalfa before spring regrowth.

Key Considerations

  • Check labels for timing and rates based on alfalfa growth stage.
  • Avoid herbicide injury by following soil and weather recommendations.
  • Rotate herbicides to prevent weed resistance.

The Perfect Sheets To Lie On While Writing Amazon Reviews
Size: Full, Color: Light Gray
As I write this, I am laying on an adjustable full sized bed by Hofish and a 10.5" comfort foam mattress by Classic Brands. I know I sound like I am an Amazon plant, but I swear I am not. I'm not even a stockholder anymore. This is the most awesome bed stylings combination I have had in many, many years. In fact, it is the best I have ever owned and it is beat only by some ritzy resort I stayed at on vacation like 20 years ago, though I admit I was pretty drunk the entire time so my memory might not be the most accurate. But getting back to today... these sheets are great. I washed them twice - I'm not a neat freak, I am just amazingly disorganized and easily distracted while doing laundry, so tonight they went though two wash cycles and one dry. And then I put them on the bed. While these sheets are not deep pocket sheets, they don't need to be with this mattress. There is enough room and border for them to tuck and wrap with the elastic to give a strong grip under the mattress, which is important as the adjustable frame continually put the sheets and mattress though its repeated adjustable calesthenics-type positioning. The other two sheet sets I have used since I got this bed have struggled poorly with this. In the day or so and at least a dozen position changes, these sheets stay in place with no popped corners to exposing the bowl as the head and feet rise. Of course, till will tell if it lasts, but so far they are the best of the batch of sheets in my closet. As for texture, they are awesome. I'm a dude. I don't really know what thread count or knit or whatever really means. But these sheets feel like a well-washed favorite, quality rock & roll concert t-shirt. And not one of these glitter puff stupid new groups, like a real rock band from the 80s that now charges $250 for a concert ticket and $60 for a t-shirt...but that group you saw back then, paid $10 for the shirt and you STILL have it and love to wear it because it is perfectly molded to your body, soft and reliable. The kind of shirt you will wear under your suit at work and just grin not just for mental middle finger to corporate dress codes, but because the t-shirt is just that great of a feeling. Well, that is what these sheets feel like. And now you get to sleep in it. It is that awesome. In LA right now we are having a nasty heat wave, but these sheets don't seem to bake me even with my stuttering AC. The flannel sheets I love seem to trigger the butt sweats as soon as I lay down in this heat, but no such problem with these. So really, I'm absolutely happy with these things. I am going to order more in other colors as soon as Amazon gets them back in stock. Great price, great quality, great comfort, great fit, great deal. It is that simple.

Soft smooth and wrinkle free!
Size: King, Color: White
The most comfortable sheets I’ve had in years! Soft and don’t wrinkle up in the bed. Some reviews said they are thin but I think they’re perfect! I don’t want super thick sheets as we are hot sleepers. These are the perfect feel. They also stretch very well to fit on my mattress all the way around and I have a thick mattress! My precious sheets were a struggle to get over the corners but these fit perfectly. Would buy 10 times over! Such a good value as well!

Soft Material, but Color Not as Expected
Size: Queen, Color: Oatmeal, Size: Queen, Color: Oatmeal
I did not open or use this sheet set because the color wasn’t suitable for the occasion I intended. I prefer to return items in unused condition so they can be resold as new, so I cannot comment on the exact fit. From a price point, it's value for money. From touching the fabric through the packaging, the material feels soft and of fair quality. There is no unpleasant smell, and the overall functionality seems fine based on its construction. My only disappointment is the oatmeal color—it looks somewhat dull and gives off an aged or slightly used appearance. I was hoping for a brighter, creamier tone. Aside from the color issue, the product appears to be well made and comfortable, which is why I’m giving it four stars.

Nice and soft
Size: Queen, Color: Chambray
Update: I’m very happy with this sheet set! I’m currently only using the fitted sheet as I don’t have a need for the top sheet or pillow cases right now. It hasn’t popped off the mattress at all like the previous cheep sheet I had. Original post: The sheet set arrived today. Haven’t actually tried it yet because I need to wash it first. From I can see, looks great. Once it’s washed and on my bed, and can figure out how to update my review I will do so accordingly. It’s soft like most people have said and the color is nice, though they didn’t have my favorite color purple in a shade I like so I got the ‘fancy blue’ (don’t remember the actual name of the color) because I desperately needed a new sheet of quality.

Very comfy sheets, nice fabric
Size: Full, Color: Oatmeal
I wasn’t expecting such good quality forthis price. They’re very soft, but of fairly thick fabric. I’m sleeping great on them. The pockets are deep enough for an 8” foam mattress plus my 3” topper. Will be getting another set for the second bedroom.
