This works for us,plant a mix of jumbo ladino clover and chicory in the early spring, mix it at 2-1 and plant 3lbs. per acre. Mow it 2 or 3 times during the summer, depending on rainfall. Then around the end of Aug. disc through the plot but don't completely destroy it, and over seed with about 40lbs. per acre w.wheat and about 5lbs per acre dwarf essex rape. As you get some rain through the fall the clover and chicory will bounce back and grow right alongwith the wheat and rape making a good plot right through the late season. Theclover and chicory will come backfor 2-3 years, and will just need to be mowedin the summer 2-3 times. Of course do a soil test, and lime and fertilize to the recommendations.
