JHUCK......Biologic is a trade name, that covers a number of varieties.

If it is their clover, and whitetail institute clover you are speaking about, I don't think you will see a difference, as both are very simular. If you want to do a real test, go to a local farm supply store, buy some New Zealand, or some Landino, Clover, and plant it with either or both of the others. I did, and could not tell a difference in the consumption.

Difference in price................. HUGE........ Landino clover & New Zealand clover (what they plant on the commercial deer farms in New Zealand) you can buy 5 to 8 pounds for the price of a pound of either Whitetail institute, or Biologic clover.

Not all farm stores will have the New Zealand variety, just ones that are interested in serving the hunters.

Another thing you must keep in mind is that one pound of whitetail institute, or Mossy oak, only has about 1/3 pound actual clover seed, as it is treated & coated to make the seeds look larger (supposed to be easier to plant) than they actually are.

When buying the other non-trademark varieties, one should buy an inoculant to mix with the seeds, to help germination.
