Apr 4, 2018 #4 Jim Boyd Senior Member If I am planting summer plots, I wait til the Ag fields are in and established before planting. This allows the herd to get diverted to the Ag fields before I plant - otherwise my plots may get wiped out immediately. Our oats and crimson clover fields generally feed until late April / early May so I would not need to plant before that time anyway. We are also experimenting with three fields of ladino clover and hope these last for 4-5 years. Good luck!
