Clover for Early Pasture
The USDA notes crimson clover as the earliest spring pasture in the Middle Atlantic from New Jersey to North Carolina. It enriches soil and provides hay, with hogs and sheep favoring it alongside red clover and alfalfa. Dairymen use it as green feed and a silage substitute, saving silage for dry spells. One acre supports two to three cows daily and halves silage needs. Winter pasturing is possible for hogs, sheep, and light cattle, but soft ground limits heavy cattle.
