This fall I debated putting in a 1/2-3/4 acre clover plot in a CRP field near a tower blind I just put up. I ended up not putting in the plot yet as I thought I’d hunt the stand for a year and then decide. Well, the stand is fantastic (killed the buck I posted on the harvest page out of it), but now that I’ve watched deer move through this field I think a clover plot ticked back into this field would be dynamite...but a different t location that I was previously planning on.
Right now it’s semi rough CRP with some smaller woody stems and stumps (most of which I think will be manageable by my heavy brush cutter and root grapple if needed). I’ve got a bag of WI Clover that I can use on this plot. Since I missed fall prepping and planting I’m curious what your thoughts are on my best course of action here. I’m wondering if I can wait till later this winter (February maybe) and either broadcast the clover into the standing cover, followed by mowing it and then hit it with glysophate as once it starts to green up? Normally I would mow, kill, till and then seed...but wondering if I can do a “throw and mow” but for spring clover instead of a fall plot. Anyone done this with any degree of success? I’ve also got a Woods PSS84 I can use if needed.
