That is what I thought. Alfalfa growing wild in South Carolina on a power line right of way where the soil is very acidic.
If it's on a power line it could be about anything. Years ago the state spread crown vetch seed in places along some roads for erosion. This year I have about an acre of the stuff in a place that it's never been before.

as much as it does look like alfalfa, without a blossom it's hard to really say.. perhaps a sweet clover as well

Alfalfa and sweet clovers are not supposed to be growing in this part of the Southeast.

Lespedeza bicolor, maybe?
Was once widely planted in places around the SE USA for quail habitat/feed.
