Default RE: Ladino clover

Ladino is a little more fickle than some other white clovers. If you can get it to grow well - I'd say its TOPS in production, taste & probably protien.

Mow it 3 times ayear - and it'llnever get too tall. Sometimesthe fisrt cutting is really heavy - don't be temped to rake it off - leave it on the field if you can. When you mow the second time -the crop will be very thick for the fall - and much of the nutrients and organic matter really help it thrive through mid summer when the deer really need it most.

Mix it with a "White Dutch CLover" or other 6" or lower growing clover - and don't mow too close - that has always worked well for me.
