Damaged Clover Fields From Freezing May Still Yield Hay
Damaged clover fields can recover by thickening with onta, barley or sweet clover or by plowing and sowing emergency crops such as soybeans, sorghum, Sudan grass, millet, oats and Canada field peas. If clover is thinned, sow oats or barley and harvest with the clover in the milk stage. Sweet clover with grain provides pasture after hay harvest. Oats and Canada field peas sown in April yield excellent hay if harvest occurs in the dough stage.
