Called my local feed store. Prices went down a little bit. Triple 17 is 22 for 50lds. Coker oats 22.50. Rape dollar a pound. Not much drop but I'll take it. Pretty much my same order as last year and about 50 bucks less.

I think radish will replace rape in my plots from now on. They make much more foliage and are pretty browse resistant.

Judging by my own local seed n feed them prices are down from last year a good bit. Abruzzi still pretty high on there though!

Hey Canuck- What makes the Durana clover so much better than the other clovers? Looking at the price made me wonder?

It's like a Timex watch! Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'! Am I showing my age?
It was developed in Georgia, for Georgia's conditions. It will tolerate (somewhat) lower soil ph, take the summer heat and come back in the fall and it is a perennial.
In 2008, I planted my first plot of it. At the same time I planted a small patch in the back of my yard and it is just now starting to fade, with me having done nothing to it. No lime, No fertilizer and I did no weed or grass control. It's not perfect, but a pretty good workhorse.
It's preference would be a part sun condition, but will tolerate full sun and almost full shade. I am now, always adding a medium red clover to my plots, even with Durana, the reason being, is it has a deeper root and performs better in these 100 degree days. However, medium red clover might only be a 2 year clover.
Durana is a good comprise for soil and weather conditions.

So what would your second choice after Durana be for a clover plot?

I am right there with Canuck. I used to plant summer and fall foodplots. I have not done that in years since I started planting Durana. I will broadcast some greens in the Fall but nothing else. Plots have lasted for years and I don't have to go out in the heat to till and replant twice a year. I may have to spray or mow every once in a while but that is nothing to replanting them all twice a year.

If you draw a line between Macon Georgia and Dallas Texas, anything above that line, Pennington will suggest Durana. Below it, not so much, but some people do have success with it. I sit on that line and have had success with Durana, but I always plant a mix of clovers now for a few reason.
@Triple C has had great success with Regalgraze and he is in NE GA.
University of Georgia suggests:
White Clover - Species & Varieties | Forages

Crimson clover will be the first clover to jump out of the ground in the fall, but not last as long. Arrowleaf follows it and produces a lot of seed, which is good for the next year. Medium red will produce in the heat of the summer and can be a (2 year) biennial. And I always will throw in a white clover.
Now having said all that, a ph above 6 and P&K in good quantity after a soil test will make everything shine.

I’ve had good luck with Durana, Patriot, Aberlasting and of course, Crimson.
Beginning to dabble with medium reds and blending chicory in as well.
My favorite KISS plot is brassicas planted in August. 3 Clover blend planted in September. Abruzzi Rye planted in October and November.
Strictly throw & grow, before rains.
Just mow then spray in August before planting. Fertilize with planting the Brassicas & Rye.
Very simple yet effective.
