I can't imagine how much money you threw away by overseeding that much clover...

If its a annual clover(crimson or arrowleaf) on 3 acres he wil be fine. May actually be 50 lbs short on wheat/oats depending on how much turnip was sowed in.
hunter drew,... are you aiming for a annual plot or a perennial plot there?? Your mix is confusing...

I have a buddy that overseeds eveything he plants.... funny thing is...some seeds will kill out one another. He has plots come up but with the $ spent he could have planted two or three for the price
