[QUOTE="JRM, post: 545565, member: 3282"] Good question. I asked an "expert" and from I got from him is that most of the nitrogen is returned to the soil when a cow eats the legume and is passed through the cow back to the soil. He said a little would be put in the soil through nodules. I was asking him about using clover in a hay field and he felt that clover in a hay field would not prove much nitrogen to the soil, but would help the hay and provide nitrogen back into the pasture. I still have allot of questions about clover/legumes. I know it helps my pasture, but would like to know when and how the clover/legume benefits the soil. Cows really love it. [/QUOTE]
