Seeding Down To Grasses and Clovers
Tests over eleven years at the Brandon Manitoba experimental farm examine where to seed a grass and clover mix in crop rotations. Wheat as a ware crop is more economical than seeding grasses or clovers alone. Seeding on well managed corn land is advantageous. Manure on first year stubble is not economical. Maximum yields unlikely when seeding on second year stubble.
