Will mowing triticale at this time of year kill it? It recently took off in my plots

No. With warmer weather comes new growth. I got one question. How in the hell are you gonna mow your plots and not destroy them with all the rain we have been getting? You need to let the deer take care of the mowing and stay off your plots. Besides tearing them up, you can cause compaction issues being on them with them wet. Yep! I can't even drive on my roads without destroying them.

I have no cows.
No shucks it's a little wet. By time I am able to get on them the stuff will be mid shin to knee high, hence the question

What's the reason your wanting to mow? In other words what are you hoping to accomplish through doing so?

Reasoning is two-fold 1) it's not being used because I didn't get my 2nd dose of fertilizer out. I plan on mowing, then fettilizing 2) I've got a good bit of clover that has come up and its possible I may make this perrenial clover plot.

Well then just spray it with clethodim then. Don’t mow it. It’ll grow back

I'm not 100% sure on making this a clover plot. If the triticale began to be used after mowing and fettilizing, I'd make other plots clover plots.
If I was 100% sure this was going to be a clover plot, I'd just spray 24DB and clethodim. A part of me wants to see if the triticale gets used

Cereal grains only have a few more weeks in which they be utilized. As plants start breaking dormancy and things start budding out then the grains won't be used nearly as much and eventually fall off to nothing as they bolt and start the maturing process. That's not far away either so anything with triticale isn't worth it at this point. As far as the clover goes....as long as the triticale isn't just super thick then I'd leave it and let it grow along with the clover. Those things are supposed to grow together as companions. The clover will likely benefit from the semi-shade provided by the maturing triticale. Just as long as you've got a good ratio of tritcale to clover that gives the clover room then just leave everything the way it is....no need to do anything

That's great info. Thanks!
So fertilize and let it go?

I don't see the benefit of fertilizing the triticale this late, it's about to green up, food will be plentiful . Since you have that clover under it, I'd wait just a while longer till the triticale really takes off and mow it, releasing the clover sooner. Your turkeys will love it.

So fertilize and let it go? If possible I'd pull a soil sample to check the Ca, P, and K levels and add whatever needed to get those in check. The clover will do better with proper nutrient levels. In the event that you don't get time to do a soil sample or whatever.....Then add a bag of 0-0-60 per/ac.....I'm saying that with assumption that you probably fertilized the field when you planted in the fall and P levels are likely pretty decent. K typically falls over the course of winter into spring though depending on holding capacity.....and there's a real good chance that those K levels need bumping back up. Lime and proper Ca levels will really help the clover thrive too. When it boils right down too it though.....the biggest factor that dictates how well your clover is going to grow is the soil type. The sandier the soil the less potential you're likely to have. Some clay content helps tremendously. If you have the option of several places to choose from....the go with the one that is going to have some clay content to the soil, holds good moisture but not swampy or anything, and also a spot that has a little semi-shade helps. That just helps protect the clover from intense midday heat and conserves moisture.
