Damaged Clover Fields Produce Hay With Quick Remedies
Damaged clover can yield a good hay crop by thickening with oats or barley or with sweet clover. If most of the stand is destroyed, plow and plant an emergency crop such as soybeans, sorghum, Sudan grass, millet, oats, or oats with Canada peas. Where clover is thinned, seed oats or barley in April or May and harvest in the milk stage. sweet clover with grain provides pasture after hay harvest. If clover is largely killed, plow and drill soybeans at 3 to 6 pecks per acre or feed sorghum at 50 pounds broadcast or 10 pounds in rows. Oats and Canada field peas are sown in April at 1 1/2 to 2 bushels each per acre and cut in the dough stage for excellent hay.
