[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 2964404, member: 8855"] Old Phart - I do not know where you live in the state, therefore I do not know what your annual rainfall is. Can you irrigate it, if need be? What is your soil Ph? Have you performed a GOOD soil analysis? OSU, in my opinion, does not provide an adequate analysis. If I had this information I can better answer whether you will be successful with a clover plot. Specifically, I reccomend that you plant ladino clover. 4-5#/acre of pure seed, preferably with an innoculant. Many bags of clover contain a 35% coating of clay with some fertilizer and possibly some lime. If you buy one of these bags then you need to add 2-3#/acre more seed to get the equivalent amount of seed. Johnson Seed in Enid carries the ladino clover that I use. It comes in a 50# bag for approx $140.00 or they have a plastic jar with, I think, 5# of ladino clover for maybe $16.00. Ross Seed in Chickasha and El Reno has carried a ladino clover but it was a coated seed which gives you approx. 34# of pure seed. Other clovers will work, but I have had my best luck with a ladino. Johnson's clover is a hybrid and it has served me well. I am planting approx 9 acres this Spring in it along with some additional drought tolerant chickory and plantain. These three will supplement my summer planting to set nitrogen in the soil which will be utilized this Fall by my BFO's and provide forage if the summer crop is consumed and the clover becomes dormant. Hope this answers your question, if not shoot me a pm. BTW, the deer finished off the deer block and have transitioned to my spring growth of BFO's and clover. These warm days and some rain have started both to grow and the deer are loving it. The pig attractant was hit by the pigs on a property that contained a good number, but there were more deer than pigs and the deer wiped out the attractant. [/QUOTE]
