[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 739636, member: 13410"] Hey hillbilly, Remember it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You could just do part of the fields this spring and save some for later in the fall. Leave the N off about a third of your pastures and go ahead and put clover out this spring with a no-till drill. I agree with dun that you're a little late for good frost seeding as far south as you are, but the drill would work well right now. I lived a couple of years in the bluegrass region (Nicholasville) back in the late 70s. We no-tilled legumes in the middle of March with good success. I've also grown a lot of good red clover on pH 4.2 to 5 soils in MO so I'm not as worried as some people about fertility conditions as long as you get the seed into contact with the soil and then keep the fescue under control with some tight grazing in the spring. I think spring grazing management has more to do with how good a clover catch you get than does soil fertility. JR [/QUOTE]
