Clover?

[MDvols]

Just wondering what other people think, What type of clover is best to plant for deer? I'm already thinking about spring food plots.

It just depends if you want an annual or a perennial. Is the location(s) shaded at all?

 

[MDvols]

I've got one area where i need a perennial, but most of my plots i have to replant every year due to the river flooding and they do have some shade because they are in the woods (1/2 acre plots). I was thinking if i plant clover after the normal spring flood then i can keep them up so i can have food in them throughout summer into fall.

I like Durana for a perennial, and Crimson for a annual.

i usually plant turnips, oats, and australian winter peas in august or whenever the rain lets me, but i think i'm gonna try a different method nxt year...see what happens

I like Durana for a perennial, and Crimson for a annual.

This is my preference as well. The turkeys tear up our Crimson

I've heard that Durana is good, i've never tried it yet because I have had such good luck with Ladino.
Once established Ladino will last easily 4-5 years.

Good info

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that duranna is a little better suited to upland drier areas and ladino will tolerate wetter areas better.

I believe you are right

Ladino has been fantastic for us in Wayne county. Get your PH correct......let it rip.
