Best Time to Plant Clover Food Plots 

I'm really glad you made this video. I had just got my Green Cover Clover and was about to frost seed two plots here in WI. I'm going to look up the 5-year average and wait. Thanks again!

Im glad you made this video. I’m about 1 hr north of Jefferson City and I have been itching to plant my clover but haven’t had the extra time. I’ll be patient and wait. As always thank you for the great videos and tips.

We had this scenario play out in deep south Mississippi last spring. In 2023 we had a super early spring. We were probably 3 weeks early in spring greenup. Was a very warm February and early March. By mid March we were almost fully greened out. Then seemingly out of nowhere on March 18th we got an overnight low of 22 degrees. The daytime temp the next day probably didn't break out of the 30's. That may not seem like a big deal to northerners but in deep south Miss. it was just an incredible thing. That was definitely a killing frost! Most people had planted their gardens. The next night's low was similar. We hadn't had that low of a temperature in that late of the month of March in 30 or 40 years or more. Then just a few mornings later it was 70 degrees at daybreak with mosquitos very thick and we probably never went much lower than 50 degrees overnight for the rest of spring 2023.

I just frost seeded some frigid forage pure trophy clover yesterday here in western Massachusetts

Great video. I'm just south of you in Arkansas. Thanks for posting

Many thanks.

Been frost seeding in Indiana,Michigan the last 20years in February and march on a flat level area and have never had this happen 🤷‍♂️ i just frost seeded 2 plots yesterday 😊😊😊

You nailed it. Here in middle TN every Feb it's 70 degrees. Should I plant the lettuce and broccoli? Should I not? 10 days later it's 3 degrees.

I typically plant fall plots with some annual clover, winter peas, oats, rye, and wheat in my plots here in Alabama. If I wait till the first week of October, the grains do great and the clover does nothing, if I plant brassica they too don't grow much. If I plant in September the grains grow tall and stemmy, but clover, peas, and if I use brassica all do well. I am thinking of planting clover and brassica, then top sowing grain into the clover. Not sure what I should do, or adjust.

No wonder my clover didn’t take. Had a real hard freeze after it started popping up! Good thing I bought enough to do it again incase I screwed up 😂😂

👍👍

Hello, another great episode. Off topic, but I have a new woods road that runs up a slope, with several yards of open area on each side. Do you have any recommendations for something I can plant in that area, primarily to avoid erosion?

Dr. Woods, I saw your video short on native vegetation. Do you have a more in depth video that explains how to encourage the "right" native vegetation?

I frost seeded a month ago. I figured it is called FROST seeding for a reason. Now I know this may not be correct, but I am willing to go with God's plan. What I am saying is that nature doesn't wait to drop seed until AFTER A FROST. Again, I admit that this may not be the best plan, but it has worked for me the last seventeen years. My fear is that if I wait too long, with the drought we have been experiencing, that I will miss out on the moisture necessary to make my clover pop.

I wish there was anyone on yt that did foodplots around western wa western or

Everybody says NO spreading over snow, maybe s MO is different

Just seeded 2 acres clover before the rain. Going to be a great crop..
