Why You Should Plant Subterranean Clover
Subterranean clover is an annual that reseeds itself, requires little care, and provides ample pasture. Sheep and cattle feed on stems and seed residues, making a valuable meadow for dairy cows. It fixes nitrogen and suits stony rises where other pastures fail, aiding poor and medium farms.
Value of Sheep on the Farm
The passage notes a small flock of 20 ewes yielding 190 lambs at a reserve of £116 per head and wool at 2s per lb. It mentions improving waste, a belief that better results could come from Grorgetows, and hopes for a successful Con forum benefiting all origins.
