Pardon my ignorance - or inexperience.
I've a field of last years seeds, stood up for 2nd cut.
And what I've grown is a dense mat of 12" deep white clover.
There's clearly some grass within it, but 90% by volume will be clover at the mo.
Will the clover 'go over' or lessen in value if I wait for more grass to appear?
I'm guessing it'll need to be baled fairly green- it needs hauling 12 miles next winter to where it'll be fed, so I usually bale stuff on that site pretty dry.
Cos I reckon if it's turned out on a sunny day, it'll go to nothing very quickly.
Oh, and I'd associate so much clover with bloat, if fed fresh.
Is that an issue baled?
Thoughts, oh wise ones?
