Crimson Clover as a Deer Food Plot Forage - The Good, Bad, and Ugly

- Crimson clover is one of the most popular cool season food plot forages, and for good reason. It’s highly nutritious with % crude protein in the mid-20s, can produce tons (literally) of deer forage per acre, and is an excellent re-seeder. But, it’s one of the first clovers to mature and die in the late spring. Adding a late maturing clover with crimson will provide more quality forage for deer into late spring and early summer.
Do you plant different clover species in your cool-season plots to maximize forage availability into late spring and even summer? Stay tuned for videos on later-maturing clovers.
I appreciate the video. Geared in Southwest Washington will have red clover come in the beginning of March and will be gone by mid-may when are winter wheat is the only thing that's in front of it.
Great video showing the before and after bloom
Thank you man.
Thanks for the time window on the red clover. I thought it lasted all summer.

South Carolina planted Crimson in the middle of interstate seventy and there were dead deer all over the side of the interstate.
We are in zone 3. Will crimson clover reseed if we are planting now September 1? Thank you for your great video and sharing your experience and knowledge.👍
Got to 50sec into the video
Hello, have a question about Crimson Clover. I know it does well in cooler temps. In higher temps will it go dormant until soil cools down? I'm in SC, heartiness zone 8 and planted crimson around mid-june. Been very hot, up in 90s. Had decent amount of rain so not necessarily drought, just very hot. Will crimson start to take later in fall when temps cool down? So far doesn't look like ANY has germinated..thank you!!
In Mississippi, we usually won't plant clovers until late September and sometimes early November. It will germinate and grow an inch or two and them pretty much shut down over the winter. It really takes off in the spring.
Can or should it be mixed with preinal rye grass, are they in the same growing season . Will 1 over take the other??
I tried real hard to plant some in my woods - it simply does not take. It does not seem to like sandy soil in a clearing I have. I am close to the Chesapeake Bay and guess the soil dries too quickly. Jim
Check out Persian clover. It's supposed to do well in sandy soils.
Would ticks consider clover a comfortable place to live?
how would that help in hunting season
It don’t.
It'll be green in the dormant stages of winter and it would be a great spot for does to use year round which will bring in the bucks during the rut
@@manyhatsentertainment8685 Where Im at it dies off long before rut.
Ohhh, the ag farmer who thinks he's God is going to hate me even more!!😅
