Alfalfa is a deep-rooted, long-lived perennial with wide adaptation. Alfalfa has the highest yield potential of the perennial forage crops. Yields in excess of 8 tons of dry matter and 4 tons of total digestible nutrients per acre have been obtained regularly. No other perennial crop is equal to alfalfa as feed for livestock, as a cash crop, or as an energy-efficient crop on soils where alfalfa is adapted. Alfalfa can be used as a cover crop and tilled under, or as a high protein forage. It's deep roots can help break up hard pan clay soil.
