Do Not Sow Clover and Sudan Grass Together
Do not sow sweet clover with sudan grass as a poor stand will result in dry seasons. Sudan grass seed requirements run 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Sweet clover can be sown alone any time in summer to mid August with a moist seed bed. It may be sown in corn or with soybeans but stands depend heavily on weather. If rain is plentiful a good stand may occur. if unusually dry, stands will be poor.
