Last fall I planted several plots in a mix from the Aliceville COOP that had oats, wheat, rape, 2 kinds of clover and peas in it.
It did really well this winter and everything is still really green. This is the first year I tried it, in years past I have just planted a wheat and oats.
With the fields having the clover in them do I need to do anything to them, such as mow or spray them? Or do I just let them do whatever they do? I usually spray roundup, disk and plant ICP in the spring but since there is clover growing pretty well I am considering giving it a chance.
Two years ago I had crimson clover that looked great in the spring, but was brown as could be during the summer and I had no concerns about disking it up to plant soybeans. This year I have a few white clovers mixed in so I'm curious to see if they'll stick around to feed the deer through much of the summer.
Do you know what type of clover was in the COOP mix?
