I'd still try it now. For as warm as it's been and looks like it'll continue to be, I'd throw 4 lbs/ac and see what happens. Its definitely getting late, but if it means I'd have a chance to head off spring and summer weeds next year, I'd go for it.
Number one place sweet clovers grow is drought prone areas, heavy clays with no topsoil, sandy gravel road shoulders, driveways, and abandoned lots. It's a hero in tough soil conditions. My deer will browse YSC through the second year when it's getting big and woody, but they won't wipe it out.
Going to look at that one.

The Sweet Clover Thread
I’ve been at this for 21 years. I’ve had white clover every year. I think I am finally ready to kill it all. I’ve not been able to overcome the smothering effects of WC, and because of that, I haven’t been able to punch in a stand of rye to hold back the grasses with the equipment and methods I...habitat-talk.com
I think the idea was that I was holding back my triticale lot (only bought enough to do my acres once) in case the throw and roll was too thick to let it through. So I tried the oats heavy in case it might work as a way to box out any would-be grasses. I missed the mark tremendously and now I'm stuck with no winter cereals to come up in spring in those two plots. I did spread trit on my main two plots in the back of my property.
I've been trying to make early spring forage barley happen for at least six years. One year, I caught lightning in a bottle and it took very well in a well established ladino/dutch white plot. There are a whole host of reasons why it didn't work in other years: Broadcasted too soon, too wet, too dry, too many turkeys, broadcasted onto 6" of snow in March. Amazingly, some of that snow seeded barley did survive, but the percentage was so low, I haven't tried it again.
Same here. Just zero rain since I planted. Really no real rain since late July.
We got .3" last night with more forecasted mid next week, should be enough to get something green growing before the hard frost sets in.
Good. Hope you get what you need
YMMV of course
Few chances of showers over the next week. We’ll see.
