[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1711333, member: 7795"] Arrow leaf and Ball clover does well in my black land soil. Took a decade for me to really get it established because of drought conditions but when I got the seedbank built it’s doing great. I’ve seen evidence that it does help with nitrogen fixation. Just how much is the question but a forage test on hay came back well above expectations last year and 2% better than comparable forage without clover. Problem is weeds. I can’t spray till end of may if I want it to reseed well. By then it takes 2 to 3 times the chemical to control some of the weeds. No one wants to hear it or do it….but reducing stocking rates makes you less dependent on fertilizer….we’ve all been brainwashed into fertilizing at any cost. Just sayin. [/QUOTE]
