So I am looking to add some spice to my food plots this year. As of right now I plant a mixture of Oats, Wheat, Winter Peas, and Rye. I am looking at adding some clover for an early season attractant to two of my food plots that hope to use at the start of the seasobn, would White Clover be best or Crimson?
Thanks.

I know the first time I threw out some throw and grow it had clover in it and the deer didn't touch it, not sure what kind it was though.

You're welcome.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

There is no ag in our area outside of who ever might have a personal garden. As far as browse, there is a lot of honeysuckle, muscadines, blackberries, and the usual from a cut over from 5 yrs ago and one from 9yrs ago. The deer are still feeding in the food plots, looks to mostly be the winter peas.
Thanks to all of you for your input, keep it coming.

Get your soil right then go with durana and yuchi. The deer are absolutely hammering mine right now.

If I were you I would get a bunch of the ones as stated above and do a test plot. I've found that deer eat different things in different areas. The deer on our place in north Baldwin love yucchi. I put crimson out this year. They didn't really take to it like the yucchi. Gonna try Durana this year and see how they like it. I've heard a lot of good things about durana. I plant our clover throw and now style too. It seems to last longer that way and grow better.

You're welcome. Of all the Ladinos, this is the one I like I was told deer wouldn't eat Crimson at my farm, they hammered it! Kept 6 acres eaten down during the winter.

If you disc your plots up every year before fall planting, I would spend that money on turnips and radishes instead of clover. My clover doesn't really get going until the Spring.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Don't plant any perennial white clover in a plot you plan on discing and planting each fall. Those clovers take a full year to 18 months to establish well and you'll be throwing money away each season. If you want a long lasting perennial plot then go for it. For a plot you plant each year of throw in 8 lbs of crimson and 8 lbs of arrowleaf into the mix. Crimson comes on strong in late winter and early spring, then arrowleaf explodes in late spring early summer. You're not kidding Matt . I planted Biologic non typical clover last fall and it took over in spring. Grows and spreads like a weed. Bush hogged it to encourage stolon development in daughter plants. I plan on just broadcasting brassicas, radish, & oats over it for Fall crop. Bush hog it 4-6 times and it will get hardier. And you can kill competition with right herbicide. It's my lazy spring summer plot that will come back next spring for 3-5 years if I take care of it & feed 0-20-20.

Maybe I'm the exception but I disk each year and have planted white clovers including Durana and disked the following fall. Instead of killing it , I think I helped it. I've sprayed and disked , I don't think you can kill the stuff.
