Blom to Plant Birdsfoot Trefoil Seed This Spring
Anton M. Blom will plant Birdsfoot Trefoil this year after Lyman Eells from the Soils Conservation Service delivered fifteen pounds of seed on March 24. The broadleaf variety, from Templeton farm near Red Rock, proved best suited to local conditions and has grown disease free and winter hardy since 1943. Trefoil offers pasture improvement and potential seed production, with Marion County farmers partly sourcing extra seed from outside growers.
