CP-42 Pollinator Planting......anyone have couple years in?

[CAS_HNTR]

I am looking for thoughts on this planting and how it looks throughout the year, specifically during
late spring (deer and turkey cover), as well as later in the year after some snowfall.....how well does it stand?
We have a few acres I'd like to plant and I like the idea od the forbs mix over a heavy switchgrass stand, but wanted to hear some thoughts.
Thanks.

I don't have any inputs but I'll be following this thread. We are considering getting into the program now that our EQUIP has ended. We looked hard at a number of the conservation practices but decided that the pay-out was too low to be worth it for now. We are still working with USDA to see if we can find a better fit. CP-42 was one of the practices we were looking at. I presume all the clover we maintain, the bicolor, would count toward pollinator attractors.

I just signed a contract to plant 28 acres of pollinator this fall. The neighbor planted his last year and the clover took over quickly. I'm curious to see if some other varieties come up.
