I'm in NE Pa and new to food plots. <font color="brown"> </font> I have a 3 acre fairly well drained grass field surrounded by woods. A total of 7 ton/ac. ag lime was put down in 2 applications(over the past year) so I'm expecting the PH to be 6.5-7.0 when I recheck this fall. My intensions were to do 1.5 ac. clover/chicory mix and 1.5 ac. alfalfa this coming spring. But after reading DBLTREE's post on ALFALFA regarding late summer/early fall planting, I'm assuming this is for weed control and less maintenance. Any suggestions?
1- plant clover and alfalfa on separate sections or mix together or skip one of the two?
2- least maintenance and cost based on planting time?
3- best alfalfa for winter survival, pest, regeneration and palatability?
4- any other suggestions!
