I currently have a field that is close to 2.5 acres located just south of Perry, Ga. I had it limed a couple years ago, but will get another soil test this coming year to see what it needs. Next fall, I would like to convert half of it into a perennial clover. I’ve read many old threads on perennial clover, but am still seeking more knowledge on the subject. First question being what varieties? I see that durana is recommended to be grown Macon or above. I’m about 40 mins south of macon. I see regalgraze ladino being mentioned commonly. Is regalgraze the preferred brand or will any sort of ladino do? I’ve heard about patriot as well. Is there any other varieties that I need to pay attention to?
Secondly, I’ve seen mixed reviews on how to maintain the clover. Mowing versus not mowing. Are y’all with perennial clover plots mowing these days or have you given up on that?
Lastly, what rates are you using when planting with a nurse crop. 50 pounds of cereal grain?
I’m sure there’s a lot of other questions that I’m missing so any other information you want to give would be great.
