Man Harvests White Clover Seed With Lawn Mowers
John B. Sewell of Trinity sets up an apron on lawn mowers to harvest White Dutch Clover seed from 7 acres of old permanent pasture. He expects 500 pounds of seed but dry weather keeps clover heads short, so he dries and stirs the heads in a crib for days to prevent heating. He estimates seed value at 16 dollars per 100 pounds, praising the current high price.
