Default RE: Fall Clover Planting

On better soil I go lighter, but on my worst soils I've gone as high as 200#'s of grain per acre, with just a grain planting. If I was planting a field for a salvage job of either a failed planting due to moisture or excessive deer browsing(most likely a brassica planting), I'd go with a straight 200#'s of annual rye per acre because it would be a later than usual planting and would want the most field coverage as possible.

On many of my plantings this year I'll probably go around 1# chicory per acre, 50#s Buck Forage oats, 50#'s annual rye, and 7-8 pounds of Antler Kings clover blend. I'm also going to mix the BFO with Imperial Whitetail's Extreme in couple of my worst soil areas to see how it goes as well...probably 100#'s per acre of BFO, and the recommended amount per acre of Extreme. Extreme already has a little rye in it, so I'll leave that out.
