Sweet Clover to Save Pastures
Wisconsin researchers report planting sweet clover on worn blue grass boosts pasture yields. Seed at 80 pounds per acre, burn off old growth, and ensure lime and phosphate are present. Over four years, combined yields doubled or tripled blue grass alone, with sweet clover supplying summer grazing in year two and nitrogen boosting grass in year three.
