About This Book

The bulletin surveys practical uses and management of sweet clover, covering its value as pasture, hay, silage, soiling, and a feed crop while describing handling to minimize bloat and secure good hay (cutting before flowering and leaving high stubble). It explains establishment and grazing practices that provide season-long forage, reports silage performance comparable to alfalfa, and emphasizes the crop's role in short rotations as a soil improver through deep roots, added humus, and nitrogen enrichment that benefits succeeding crops. Practical harvesting and curing guidance and the plant's usefulness as an abundant nectar source for honey production are also discussed.
