Red Clovers
The most widely planted forage legume after alfalfa. Red clover performs better than alfalfa on acid or wet soils. Faster establishing than alfalfa. This legume is often used in grass mixtures predominantly for a cutting regime. Clovers are best cut for hay when in full bloom. If cut earlier, it is more difficult to cure. Cut later, it loses palatability. Red clovers are more drought tolerant and productive than White Clover, but not quite as high quality. Use some of each for grazing! In Penn State’s trials, the average yield of all the Red Clovers was a little higher than the average yield of the leafhopper resistant Alfalfas, the year after seeding!

Freedom! MR Red Clover ct
Freedom! MR is named because of its freedom from pubescence (non-glandular hairs). With less pubescence than typical red clovers, Freedom! MR promotes faster drying of hay in the field which reduces the chance for loss of quality due to untimely rainfall. In addition, less pubescence also reduces dustiness of hay, thus improving air quality. Freedom! MR is also well adapted for grazing and silage. Freedom! produces excellent yields of highly palatable, nutritious forage. It is also a very persistent variety - exhibiting improved winter hardiness as well as improved heat and drought tolerance. Research trials at Cornell University show that Freedom! excels better than most other red clovers into the third year of production. Freedom! MR is one of the highest quality red clovers on the market. Seed is preinoculated and coated. 25 lb bag. Seeding rate: 15-20 lbs/acreBarenbrug USA - This product is supplied by Barenbrug, a world-wide, forage-based company that has specialized in high quality grasses and legumes for over 100 years.
