How many people add some type of white clover to you fall mixes. For the ones that do how much growth and utilization by deer do you see the following spring and summer. I know you can more than likely never get as much forage/nutrition out of that clover over planting peas or something. But if you were going to plant peas or something then there would probably be no need to plant the clover. But planting summer plots would cost a lot more and you need more acreage for it to be beneficial. Will they get enough benefit out of the clover the next spring and summer to justify adding it to your fall mix.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

I also add a little white clover into my mix. It's not just for the deer....it also helps add some N back to the soil which is a major driver of soil function.

Adding crimson or arrow leaf is good, and economically more feasible. They are both annuals with fast growth. I don’t plant any white clover in a fall mix unless establishing it as a permanent clover field. It usually takes more than one growing season for white clover to establish and flourishes after year two. It’s also expensive. I feel like I’m throwing my money away. It don’t have time to fully mature and then you disc it up and start over. Do deer eat the arrow leaf better than Crimson and how long will it last the next summer.
