The research found that in strip
tilled interseeding systems of field
corn and soybeans, the White
Dutch variety of clover worked
better than any of the forage
clovers. This was due to its high
tolerance to excessive field traffic.

dttions is most important. For
northern areas, a cold tolerant
variety, which will not freeze out
during the winter months, is
essential,” says Hofstetter. “Use
varieties which best fit your needs
and rotations. For recom
mendation of varieties in your
area, contact your county or state
extension agent.
“A soil analysis should also be
done prior to seeding,” Hofstetter
recommends. "Apply lime,
phosphorous, and potash if needed.
Lime should be applied ap
proximately six months prior to
seeding, phosphorus and potash
should be applied just prior to
plowdown.
“Clovers do well within a pH
range from 6.0 to 7.0. Alfalfas do
best within a range of 6.5 to 7.0.
Both clover and alfalfa use ap-
•e clover not only protects the soil in
winter, it also combats weeds and adds nitrogen when
plowed under in the spring.
proximately 30 pounds of
phosphorus per acre to make four
ton yields. Nitrogen is not
necessary for legume establish
ment.”
The potential for this type of
overseeding for reducing nitrogen
costs and herbicide costs, may
help to draw more attention to
organic cultural practices from the
commercial farming sector.
Certainly it is worth looking into,
and perhaps as Jerry Webb
suggests, there must be "a com
mon sense rationale somewhere
between the all-out, one-pass
chemical farmer and the organic
purist, that includes some
pesticides, some fertilizers, some
animal manure, some crop
rotations, and some good old
fashion soil management.”
Eodale Research Center will
conduct a Fanner Field Day
August 10 with two sessions at 9:30
a.m. and 3:30 p.m. All persons
interested in learning more about
regenerative agriculture and
organic cultural practices are
encouraged to attend.
