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.

Fantastic soap for the dermatitis and eczema prone
You guyyyyysss, my hands have no dry, itchy spots right now. None. This is remarkable because before now I have for years had issues with eczema/contact dermatitis patches that have at times (aka: most times) been pretty unbearable. To say that I’m overjoyed to have found a natural soap that truly works for me is an understatement. When you use this, you can feel that it’s moisturizing your skin. It’s fantastic. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and get yourself a bar. I’m wondering now if I can use it on my entire body and to wash my hair. That’s probably a little overboard, but it’s that good and now that I’ve used it I suspect all my skin problems are contact dermatitis that could be solved by the right soap/shampoo.

Best I’ve found yet for facial psoriasis
Anyone who has facial psoriasis will tell you there are not a lot of products that you can put on your face without irritation or flareups. This soap is just what I needed. There are no irritating chemicals or perfumes in this soap. I have read other reviews that the soap does not last very long but there is a way to use it to make it last. First, I wet my face and then I wet my fingertips and rub my finger tips across the dry bar of soap and then lightly rub my face with my fingertips softening the plaques and then lightly wash with a soft cotton washcloth. It is not really moisturizing but not over drying either. I follow up with an organic vegetable-based glycerin oil to moisturize. This is the best product I have found yet.

Dries completely clear, no pilling/balling, does have fragrance
Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen, Style: Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack) Mineral Sunscreen
I use a ton of sunscreen, religiously, and this one, at SPF 50, caught my eye. I never heard of this brand before or tried any of their products. While I am not a kid, I often like to use kids' sunscreen because I find it to be more gentle. This is a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide as the filter. Mineral sunscreens often leave a white cast but this one claims to dry completely clear - and I was curious to try this. Indeed, it dries completely clear! It absorbs amazingly and is a beautiful sunscreen for the face. It leaves a nice velvety glow when it dries - there is no oiliness and no shine. Even if you wear no makeup or products on top of it, you will look perfectly fine. I also tried layering it with multiple products, both under and over, and this sunscreen does not pill - which is another huge plus for me - as there is nothing worse than starting over when your sunscreen makes your face look like an odd mess. Overall, the performance of this sunscreen completely blew me away - this is one of the best sunscreens I've tried. A word of caution though - this sunscreen does have fragrance (and it is pretty heavily fragranced) so do keep this in mind if you are sensitive to fragrance in skincare.
