dogdoc Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 two options: If you want to try to save your clover you can spray Poast on the plot to kill off the grasses and spray 2,4DB to kill off the annual broadleaf weeds. OR as you suggested disc everything up and plant RR soybeans. I wouldn't plant corn as it has no benefit to the deer during the fawning/antler growing season. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhtr1 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: Opinions I would spray like dogdoc says and then let the clover seed out. I would then till it up and plant soybeans for the summer. 8 acres would be big enough that I think the soybeans would have a chance to make it. I always let my crimson clover seed out and then plant my summer plots over it. The clover will come back during the fall as the summer plots die out with a little 13-13-13 and lime. I almost forgot.

Born2Hunt Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Re: Opinions I would round up the plot turn it up and maintain it with poast a couple times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cowpoke Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Re: Opinions Are you planning to harvest the corn or soybeans or leave them as wildlife food? How thick a stand of clover is still there. If we are talking about red clover you could clean it up with poast and 2-4D and then no-till more red clover right in there to thicken it up without monkeying with the corn or beans. If you want to rotate out to another crop for a year and plan to harvest the grain then you probably want to go with soybeans from the standpoint of the input costs to grow a decent bean crop will be less than to grow a decent corn crop.... by inputs I am referring to fertilizer, and drying fuel for the grain primarily.
