[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5578270, member: 63856"] Old mate up the road does. His take on maintaining the clover correctly is to double-graze it with sheep to keep it prostrate and small leaflets are the result, if you just mow it or graze it properly then it becomes more upright and leafier. by double graze: let it come away above the stubble then put lambs on it, then hammer it with old ewes repeatedly including a week post-drilling, which has it setback until the canopy has well emerged. He does it as we are fairly damp and unpredictable weather around here, once the cereal is well up having that green cover stops the steaming bare earth from raising the canopy humidity, plus he can crop without any added N as it is provided by the clover and preceeding bean/pea crops at the beginning of the rotation, which he bales or mob grazes. Makes for a very cheap cereal, no pesticides, growth regs or N applied. Occasionally a fungicide but not every year. [/QUOTE]
