Red clover seed quality undercuts imported strains
Experiments at the Missouri College of Agriculture show imported red clover seed yields are inferior to native varieties and often dyed to mask quality. Green or red tinted seed signals lower productivity, while native seed yields exceed foreign strains, especially at second cuttings. The state seed law requires labeling and authorities urge buying from Missouri retailers, with a statewide Better Seeding Days campaign led by the Missouri State Board of Agriculture.
