    I have a clover plot that is now 5 years old. I have been fighting the weeds the last 2 years and frost seeding in the spring to try and keep it going. I am thinking about calling it quits for a year and plant to brassica this fall to use up some of the N the clover has produced. Looking for the best way to do this.

    My plan was to let the clover come in until late June, then hit it a couple times 2-3 weeks apart with gly to kill off any weeds in the plot and knock the clover down a bit. I know this wont totally kill the clover. Then disc it up and plant brassica mid July. Good or bad plan?

    Great plan, you don’t wanna empty the table, by June the local row crops will be established. I’ve had great luck seeding fresh clover in with the brassicas by just dropping the brassica seed rate a bit.
