Unfavorable Clover Seed Year Shifts Preference to Adapted Varieties
Severe weather and drought pushed Maryland clover seed production toward seeds adapted to local conditions. Tests show northern seed underperforms even in good stands, with Minnesota and Oregon seeds far behind Virginia Tennessee Kentucky and Southern Ohio in hay yield. In 1943 drought, adapted lots averaged 31–32 pounds per acre versus under 2 for unadapted. Farmers should avoid northern seed below 1000 feet and reduce seeding rates while using other legumes to fill gaps.
