Landino Clover?

[Football Hunter]

Was reading in my QDMA food plot book ,for about the 9 millionth time,and it said that a stand of Landino should produce about 10,000 pounds per acre,per year of forage.DANG,that sounds like a lot!Hope they are right,Ill have some big whopper deer.I assume this is under optimum conditions,Im waiting on my soil test now,hopefully I wont have to far to go.

Wonder how that lbs per acre compares to corn,soybeans,etc?

You think 10,000 lbs per acre is good,.. for clover it is great,. 1 acre of oats can produce between 2 to 5 tons per acre!! Thats why grains, and cool season annual plantings, are crucial part of food plotting. Annuals typically produce the most tons of forage per acre.

I've never measured a clover field that produced that much. A ton or two per year, yes. 5 tons, no.

Im not saying its so,just repeating what the QDMA book said.
