Q.Food Plots for Wildlife
When should I plant clover for deer food plots?
A.
Plant clover in late summer (August-September) for fall establishment, or frost-seed in late winter (February-March). Late summer plantings produce stronger stands; frost-seeding is the cheap no-till option. Clover establishes over 60-90 days, reaching browse-tolerant size before winter.
Crop calendar pages cover state-specific clover timing.
