Great point mo. I Have never had an interest in annual clover, so I'm automatically casting judgement.
New Type of Clover

By the looks of the prices at Welter seed, a guy could save a whole $9 if he used VNS red clover over the improved balansa clover, so I guess your right, a guy could almost buy a 12pack of Budweiser for the extra cost of that "fancy" new stuff.
And just like dipper does with his red clover by letting it go to seed, yes it appears that balansa is a good enough reseeder to achieve that 4 years and potentially more. Long term field trials in Oregon over a 10 year period it appears to be able to sustain itself for 4 years or more.

Looks like stu and some others are already working on that.;)

I don't plot the way I plot because I can't afford it. I do it as a challenge, just like you do. It's fun for me to push the limits of everything. When I was younger it was my crotch rocket, snowmobile and body-MMA fighting. For some reason that's changed.
Now I get my thrills growing my own food plot seed. I know it's pathetic, but it's my thing. Haha

I will probably be planting both clover types this year for different purposes as well as starting a new BOB (WTI) clover plot. It will just be interesting to see how each one fares for each intended use I have for it. The WTI has one type of clover in it that the deer around me really like, it's been hit harder than any other clover I've used. Redcover grows fast has been great in my organic cover cropping rotation and will continue to use it as such but the deer do not hit it overly hard. I will be doing a test with this new stuff to test it's cold hardness to see how it fares against WTI on the food plots.

I can't remember the exact number but we killed between 15-20 last year on this red clover field alone.
Deer are not picky, at least the ones on my place :)

5 year old Red clover biomass after being flattened. It never got higher than 3"s after being flattened in August.
I've never cut this clover. Might have sprayed twice with a grass select, can't remember exactly.

This is some red on year 2 at a seeding rate of 3 pounds/ acre. I injected some winter peas in there during the spring, that's what I'm holding up.
Not saying my trials are the way it has to be done. Just saying some new cutting edge seed iant need to kill deer like b's trying to accomplish.

I probably saw 20-25 deer all of last season. Seen. Laid eyes on.

Next year it's getting a dose of ghlyphosate in June and I'll inject my cold season seed. If that works, which I think it will, I'll be done experimenting.

You should. Just think of the challenge.
Well actually I think you should just suffer like the rest of us. :)

And if you would have used Balansa Fixation clover you may not have had to spray twice with grass select. This could make Fixation a cheaper and better choice. Thanks for pointing that out Dipper.5 year old Red clover biomass after being flattened. It never got higher than 3"s after being flattened in August.

10K per acre for fertile tillable farmland in dairy country is the going rate. Its not about deer. Its about cash crop and manure spreading.

My 23 acres has a pond, trout stream, highland, swamp. A neighbor just paid $10k an acre for a parcel not nearly as nice as mine. Many parcels listed with a realtor at $6 plus.
My main farm has 2 glacial lakes with huge panfish and bass, a trout stream, upland, lowland, a mile of electricity fiber optic cable that would cost $100k plus to install. Plus loads of wildlife
These prices are top dollar as a seller, but I'm open for negotiation.
People want the country life and they have the $ to do it. It isn't deer hunting prices influencing land prices like buffalo county. My land is worth much more than the land in the tigerton deer hunting area because its just deer hunting land in the middle of no where.
