Default RE: Clover ????'s

ST, I planted a clover plot last year. It was and still is a dandy, however; the dairy farmer on the neighboring farm had an alfalfa field which pulled nearly every deer out of my food plot. Needless to say I am spraying the plot with round up and putting into corn/soybean rotation untill his field is put into corn. Mine will then be put into alfalfa.

I had Ladino, New Zealand and Alsike planted. They hit it only when the farmer baled his alfalfa and earlier in the year, just as the new seeding was coming up.

If I were you I would put in alfalfa, especially if your soil ph is at 6.7 or above.
