PLANT THE BEST CLOVER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2024
- In today’s video we talk about choosing the best clover for your situation. Not every clover may work on some properties. We are one of the few companies that do not use a “one size fits all” approach with clovers. Each clover variety has a specific time and place . We help navigate you through some of the bad seed choices that are being offered and what you should avoid.
Enjoy!!
The best clover offerings for ten whitetail and wildlife land manager.

Thanks John, your products look great in the bag, pure seed no junk I almost hate to open it. Something else, a former partner of yours taught me to use your product and then ask me to stop and use his. I’m sorry but I won’t do that, I believe in loyalty and you have never let me down.
Ya
It’s funny how they shot dozens of giant deer with our products, now they bad mouth our products and say they are no good.
Our switchgrass sucks, brassica is no good , screen is no good , soil builder is wrong 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️…
Haha you just cant believe anything they say anymore unfortunately.
Holy crap John!! I’m on my second time through watching! What a ton of information! Keep the hammer down man, you’re gaining ground hand over fist! 👊👍
👍💪🏻
This one needs its own comment!! Holy crap that three strip clover comparison is the FIRST TIME I have ever seen on any food plot videos a distinct difference on clovers! You can really tell which ones green up sooner and the clover chicory looks like a salad so early in the spring. Well done. Now back to the video again!
Thank you John I planted some of your red clover and chicory the first part of May it is really growing and doing so much better than that brand X with the picture of a deer on it that I bought last year. Great seed
We understand it’s not a one size fits all like everyone else thinks.
I’m so glad you put this video out you’re timing is impeccable gonna tend to my plot next week ty you so much John for breaking everything thing down
You bet
I have been planting whitetail institute fusion and you are absolutely correct i have to frost seed every spring. I will have to order my clover from you. It is just wrong that these big companies are plaing this game. Thanks for exposing this more people need to hear this. Also your hd screen is killer! I bought bigrock switch is doing amazing. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks
We are not very popular in the “good old boys club” of the seed industry, but that is ok.
I’d rather help folks like you see through all the BS the big buck seed companies are throwing at you all right now.
I planted Seclusion 360 2 years ago in small plots in the woods and it's doing great! I killed my buck in Seclusion last fall as he stopped for a snack before heading to the big field of Sweet Feast Brassicas.
Great information John,
Well done
Hey John! I planted over two acres of your clover blend last august and I’m so impressed with how well it’s growing. Like you I’m in the far north and the deer are just loving it now. I’m going to add chicory as well. How long does it stay viable in the fall before it loses its attraction? Going to ordering my plot screen soon. Your products are the best quality and best price. Thanks!
Ours stays green here well into January
I have an “L” shaped food plot that the ends of are wet not standing water wet but spongy probably every month of the year except July and August so I planted those particular spots with your wet clover and it did seem to take better than other things I’ve tried there so for anyone out there facing a similar situation I’d give it a try before giving up on clover
Yes
Our wet areas have it as well
The cost per pound isn't the most important part of the discussion, although John's is best or better than most. I'll pay up for the quality information provided on his platforms and even on an individual basis when you call to order. I won't buy seed anywhere else unless I'm in a jam. Thanks John.
👍👍
I plant food plot clover in my orchard. Not for deer or wildlife but for the nitrogen fixing clover does. Plus less mowing than grass.
Interesting information
Hey John great video, lots of important information! I’m lucky I guess with our land in VT because we don’t need any green manure. The plots were just saturated with organic matter and all I needed was a drag harrow to turn it over and mix it with the black gold underneath. Northwoods Whitetail clover blend plus chicory grows amazing and keeps coming back going on 3 years now. I do over seed it with one 4lb bag in the fall but to be honest it really doesn’t need it. I just like a thick carpet going into spring green up, it looks like a green shag carpet already and the deer can’t get enough of it. I feed our herd all summer with no problems with doe scaring bucks away. I have videos and pictures of a very nice eight pointer, not yet a shooter, during the day in October/November eating on it. Four pointers, spikes, button bucks, they come and go along with all the doe all year long. Some I’ve been watching since they still had spots, the eight being one of them. Northwoods Whitetail is the only seed I will use period, honest company that doesn’t use BS to sell their seed. Keep on Keeping on John!
Thanks
Sounds like it’s working great!!
John , I purchased your clover blend last year and rye grain. Planters first week of September. It came up great served Pennsylvania winter. I fertilize it early this year since it’s been warm. It took off its over 6” tall rye just above it about 8”. Followed your exact plan and have great results.
What type of chicory is being used? I do have wild chicory growing around my area , something that was plentiful all around when I was a kid now 67. My grand father use to pull it dry the roots to make coffee during the depression.
They love chicory in late September-late October
I bought a variety of clover packages from Northwoods in early March. I’ve been bogged down on a major chicken run build that’s eating up my time and thus I’m not going to get my spring food plots planted. That said, will the clover still be viable next year or should I try and use up the clover this fall? Thanks John. You continue to earn my support.
Keep the seed In a plastic bin in the house or basement. Seed will be fine. Inoculant may need to be added.
Or you can plant with cereal grains this fall.
I store your seed in my basement utility room. I bought a lot of clover varieties from you so I likely will carryover a portion for next spring. Is there a specific inoculation I should use to freshen up clover
I've always rolled my eyes at the "doe factory" theory because I believe what I see with my eyes if it contradicts what someone says in a video. It was nice to witness some agreement on my skepticism.
Doe factory theory gets UA-cam views.
Most land managers we work with think this is nonsense. And they have plenty of experience 😉

Great job 👍🏻👍🏻! What seed would you recommend for seed when soybeans start turning yellow in southern Ohio? I need to order some switchgrass soon.
Short season brassica
Rye radishes combo
Straight rye
All good options
Thanks got my wet ground clover Super Quick!
hey john,..I love testing the clovers especially all the new hybrids as they advance. What types of ladino are in your clover blend.? Our Oasis chicory has performed incredible for us. They different strains are very interesting.
It took us some time to perfect the recipe and I really won’t give it out anymore. Too many “experts” trying to copy what we do and pass it off as their own blends.
But it’s as good as we have found for a clover combo and are still looking to improve it.
ok,..I was just curious. We work so hard and put so much time and money into our plots, just wanted to know what we are putting in them. Its amazing how the soils are so different from area to area, and how these seed producers have adapted to them over the years. Its just really fascinating to me.
How about the beginning of planting season to fall planting season explanation, and a description of what is a small food plot size wise.
We will try
Small plot can vary from land to land
Soil type, deer herd size ag vs big woods.
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Thanks
John,
You mentioned soil types (clay specifically) but I missed your recommendation… I’ve got clay soil that was in Aig that I’m transitioning to perennial clover .
Thoughts?
I’ll do the soil test/amendments
I’d really like to see a soil test first
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663
PH 5.7
P is 22ppm
K is 73 ppm
Ca is 738ppm
Mg is 70 ppm
Organic Matter 2.80%
Cec 5.7
How tall should I expect my wet ground variety to get? I’ve been in clovers for 7 years now and can vouch for heavy chickory
12-14
Mow it at 8-10” when it flowers out
Soil and sunlight amount can dictate growth
Seed coater folks claim there is better germination with coated seed so you don’t need as many pounds per acre. Have you done side by side treated - untreated, same variety, same lot to see the difference? I’d like to see pictures.
Good video John. Thanks.
Yes
I did a 10 day germ test on our clover blend a month ago and it was around 200 seeds. 98% germ.
But their 4 to 5 pounds of actual seed per acre is a far cry from 8 pounds per acre. That would mean our germ rate would have to be down 50-60% to equal their same 4-5 pounds of actual seed in 8 pounds (because they have 30-40% seed coating) .
How well does your clover work in NE Pennsylvania? Which would you suggest? Soil test is I had to add a tiny bit of lime and that is it. All other readings were good
Clover blend should work great
Hi John,
I have a food plot with standing rye currently chest high. I’d like to plant the same plot this fall with rye and oats again. What do you recommend I do for steps moving forward this summer?
Thinking I would let it go until Aug. seed into it, then mow down standing. Thanks!
That can work
The. A light disc pass
Which clover is best to pair with your sandy soil fall forage blend? I was thinking the red would be perfect. I was planning those two together, letting the red clover come up the following spring and feed critters all summer and then plow it down the following August for added OM. Thanks John!
Red
Unless your farther south then red or crimson
How do you deal with bracken fern?
We are liming
Discing fall annual grains
And trying Liberty this year on new plots we are opening up.
Hi Guys
What is the seed rate per acre for the seclusion blend w/ chickory? 1/2 acre plot
3 pounds approximately
Confused by best clover for sandy soil northern mi sleeping bear area. 360;seclusion or red with chicory?
In that really sandy soil, probably red clover with some chicory
@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 thanks I will place my order soon .
Do the deer still eat the wet -blend clover?
Absolutely
Is this in stock
Yes
What do you spray on the chicory blends to kill broadleaf since 2,4db kills chicory?
I try to mow and not spray
But I have used Imox
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 imox doesn't kill chicory?
John what would you recommend in western West Virginia?
What Clover blend?
It will depend on soil type
And your summer fall rain
I'm in Ohio within 30 minutes from the Ohio River. You will love his Clover Blend and or Clover blend with Chicory. 🍀
I say my soil 5.5 to 6 is my guess

Center of one of my fields. 3.5 acre field that's little over 300 yards long. Your Clover chicory blend with extra chicory and red clover. The rye is starting to jump. Mowing it this week. I am in Lincoln mi. 7 miles west of Harrisville.
