Have you done it on plots like described?
Our biggest field at the hunting club stays fairly wet and its been one of our best plots…..the clover does especially well there. I don’t know if its wet to the point you are dealing with but when my buddy use to hunt the land years ago he would have years when it was too wet to plant in this field. We planted it last year in the rain using throw and mow. Had you been trying to till that day it would have been a mud bog.
It's usually dry enough to get a tractor on in September. It's usually muddy from November through about May. We've been able to stock pile enough tonnage to get us through the hunting season. However, with the number of deer using it and the small size of the plots, it's struggling by January. We try to keep them out until mid-October to bank the tonnage and it's worked. They start hammering the plots mid-October throughout the season.
