Re: hay with a lot of red clover

Hi Janell,

Red clover easy to establish and is generally mixed in with grass pasture, typically fescue or orchardgrass. It is fine to feed and is more tolerant of poor drainage or soils with a lower pH. As with any legume, it should be fed along with grass pasture or grass hay.

Hope this is helpful.

Good things,

Dr. Getty
