Food Plots Annual plot

[Mr. Hawk]

I usually do perennial plots.Last fall I did annual winter wheat and red clover. They look good now with the wheat at thigh high and red clover blooming but do I need to mow them or just let them be? Plan to plant same thing this fall.

If you wait until the clover seed heads turn grey/brown, and then mow, you will get some natural reseeding and clover growth during the summer months.

As for the red clover, it is a biannual, not an annual (it last 2 years). If you want a true annual plot, you might look at crimson clover.
