Does anyone plant alfalfa in their deer plots? Is it worth while?

I always get great pictures in the hay field. Buit it is baled..also drops off in Sept /Oct when it goes dormant.
I got 3 different plots that I started working last year. 3ac, 1.7ac and 2ac. I am in northern pa( couple miles from Ny border). PH is around 6 or a little higher, added several ton of ag lime since last sample was taken. Right now I have 3 ac. In soybeans. 2 ac. In clover/ weeds( need some cleth) and the 1.7 has some brassica, clover and about 1/2 ac of cornAbsolutely. Wish I could direct you to the various QDMA Forum threads on the subject, but those SOB's shut it down.
Long story short -- it can make a tremendous food plot, but it requires a lot of study, prep, time and money. RR is the way to go.
What are you thinking of doing with it? How big would the plot be? What's your soil type and ph?

Good luck!I guess next year I may have to give it a go on an acre and see how the animals like it.
