Agricultural expert Dr. J L Bolton notes legumes like alfalfa and clovers build soil nitrogen while yielding quality hay and forage.

Forages Trialed On Saline Soils At Brandon Farm
Experimental results from Brandon Farm show 22 forage crops tested on white alkaline soils. Four failed to establish, nine gave weak stands, while alfalfa and sweet clover outperformed grasses on mildly saline ground but not on strongly saline soil. Arctic white blossom and Erector pink clover appeared best among varieties. Slender and tall wheatgrass established well. tall wheatgrass suits near-surface water or seepage.
