[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 736406, member: 13410"] Lots of good comments already. If there is a decent amount of clover already out there, just grazing the pasture hard in the spring to keep the fescue down and then resting it 5-6 weeks can give a really nice surge in the clover component. Unless you have at least a 3-year lease (and 5-7 would be a lot better) I wouldn't be highly motivated to put much clover seed or P into it. The pH at 6 is fine for red clover. I've grown a lot of it on soils with pH under 5. Just takes better grazing management. If you were going to frost seed additional red or white clover, first couple weeks of February would be the target time to do it. For crimson or arrowleaf, the fall is the better time. [/QUOTE]
