Great Value of Clover as Crop for Soil Improvement
A University of Illinois expert notes sweet clover as a premier legume for self building soil. Green manure yields rival those from farm manure, with four trial fields showing 63 and 62 bushels per acre for first and second year corn on clover plots.

To maximize benefits, integrate clover with other soil practices.
