[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 611105, member: 7509"] Problems with frost seeding. I have mostly heavy dubuque clay W WI soils. Maybe that was the problem. I've tried broadcasting clover in early spring so it falls in the cracks you sometimes get in the spring. Problem is we go from snow cover to mud in a heartbeat... We have an implement dealer in my county who will deliver and pickup a 10 ft no till drill with a small seed/alfalfa box for about $10/acre + $25 delivery. After my bad experience with frost seeding (maybe a 10-20% stand) and the cost of good red clover seed I just use a drill. If I let cattle in to work the seed into the ground at clover planting time (mud) the soil would setup like concrete. In the early spring I keep the cattle confined to a limited sacrifice area because of this. Maybe a local/climate/soils thing. Seems like the positive comments on frost seeding are coming from Missouri on south into Texas. [/QUOTE]
