Red Clover Seed Shortage Likely This Spring in Canada
The Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture reports red clover seed supplies are below typical levels for Canada. Last year 2.5 million pounds were produced domestically, plus about 0.5 million imported English seed, totaling roughly 3 million pounds available this spring.
