Below: A customer sent these awesome pics from last season from his organic farm.
Row 1: Wheat seeded with Crimson, White Dutch, & Subterranean clover blended in by us. He swathed it and let it regrow after.
Row 2: It then re grew after harvest, went to seed, and provided ground cover last fall and this spring to suppress weeds and fix N! This year he is thinking to grow winter wheat this fall and harrow on these clovers next spring for same impact but slightly better germination.
