RE: Food Plots????
The ladino clovers need at least a 6.0 or better to do well. They do not do well in the more well derained soils, there have been exceptions. If you soil is well drained you will want to lime heavily to reach the 7.0 if possible. We have had clients that limed above 8 tonsd an acre. You may want to plant some rye and then some buckwheat for a year or two to add some humus.
Clovers, especially the ladinos, have different sweetnesses and different protein levels through out the year. We know of no straight, non-blended ladino that will maintain and protein level and sweetness of over 12-20% through out the year. You need both the sweetness and the protein, especially after the high stress periods and into the green up.
