Clover that is. I got into a fist fight with an old woman on this today. Anyone know if there is a difference, or simply a case of one thing with 6 different names?

Dutch clover is a low growing white perennial clover with typically "average" sized leaves (mostly the sort of clover we see in many lawns in my area. Ladino, is a tall more upright growing white perennial clover (more like cow food) with a larger leaf as well. I personally consider them very different plants......but that is my opinion.

Interesting tidbits sd. You know wheat is a grass... it does really well fall seeded with clover... and is a preferred forage until it heads out. Rumor is even the heads are eaten when ripe.

I'm going all-in on your Catscratch wheat this year. Every inch of clover is gonna get overseeded in August. I'm headed to Omaha this weekend to pick up two bags, golf, grill, and drink.

I would do winter rye over wheat any day based on my "tests"

Both are white clovers. Dutch is the short stuff that partridge like. Ladino is taller clover.
I also suspect Dutch will tolerate a lower pH. Pitch Dutch on trails as ladino in bigger patches.
Or go with Aldine in your wet ground.

Have you guys used Alice White clover? I believe Paul Knox used to like that clover. He always made a point to to confuse that with the annual Alyce white clover.

But where I don't need to get the rye out of the way at any particular time (clover plots), I'm trying to get some feed value outta the seed heads as well as the carbon.
