Alfalfa

 Alfalfa is a perennial legume that fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere to not only provide its own N, but build soil N for crops following it in rotation.  Alfalfa roots can penetrate up to 15 feet in the soil, cycling nutrients (and water) that other crops can't reach.  It builds soil organic matter which improves soil tilth and water holding capacity.
