[QUOTE="Starting late, post: 623925, member: 8634"] I would try to seed your clover about Feb 20th or a little later. If you can get a disc to cut a little bit to open the sod up that would be a good idea. Another possibility would be to feed hay on the ground after seeding the clover and get your cows to trample the seed in for you. That will trick the cows into fertilizing it for you as well. I know some people on here will be able to help you with this next idea more than I can. I have heard of several people who mix it in with their mineral and let the cows do the seeding when they process the seed out the other end. Again, you would need to entice them with feed to get them to spread the seed where you want it. You may also want to consider forage peas no-tilled in after the danger of frost has passed in your area. A quality forage pea can yield up to 70 lbs. of N per acre for your grasses, plus they're excellent grazing. I intend to utilize the forage peas for strip grazing and to supply N to the grass crop that I'll rotate in this fall. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
