I have tried test plots with no plow and clover with disappointing results. The advice I can give is, it didn' t work out for me. You may have better luck. There are a lot of variables. I would not do anything without a soil sample. The dry weather last year was not good for anything that grew. My alfalfa, ladino clover looked great in the fall and this spring it looks even better. Am putting in an acre or so of corn and hope to get at least 100 bu.acre. I am not too excited about using the expensive buck on a bag seed. But whatever you plant you have to do it right.
