[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 719189, member: 12607"] Not a huge red clover fan, though I guess if I were doing hay, I'd probably want some in the mix; it just doesn't last very long. White/ladino clover is a must in my pastures - I've been really pleased with Kopu II and Alice varieties; Will and Seminole have performed reasonably well, too. 'Synergy' is a newer selection that's supposed to grow taller and may be desirable as a component in hayfields and wildlife food plots, as well as in pastures. Missouri Southern Seeds carries both Synergy and Kopu II, as well as other good forage varieties: [url=http://www.missourisouthernseed.com/pages/custom.php?id=19572]http://www.missourisouthernseed.com/pag ... p?id=19572[/url] Annual lespedeza (Kobe, Korean, Marion) has been a life-saver here on more than one occasion when we've had hot droughty summers, and they work nicely on droughtier, upland soils on the farm here that tend to have pH lower than the clovers really like. Tried one 25# bag of birdsfoot trefoil one time, but it just never 'caught' - probably MY fault; it looks intriguing to me, but I'm not certain it'll work here. Drilled about 25 acres of crimson clover & ryegrass into a thin stand of fescue/orchardgrass on a hillside field in fall 2008; guess it did OK, but the Kopu II really came back like gangbusters through the cool wet spring/summer/fall of 2009; don't really know now, how much, if any re-seeding of the crimson clover occurred; guess I'll find out this spring.
