Using Frosty Berseem Clover as a Transition Crop

March 19, 2018

Grasslands Oregon recently published a blog post describing how one Idaho farmer used Frosty Berseem Clover as a transition crop between two grain crops. If you are in a situation where you need to make hay in a transition year, Frosty may be a crop you might consider. 

Below is a quote from the article. 

“So what we are seeing is that farmers are wanting to move into no-till situations and they are trying to figure out which is the best crop to use. Frosty berseem clover seems to be a great fit for this. The difference with Frosty is its improved winter-hardiness compared to VNS berseem, or varieties from warmer climates, that are available in the market today. Although this improvement might not always equate to winter survival, it does allow for more biomass production (which helps with N production, erosion control, weed suppression, etc.). Frosty berseem clover establishes very easily and works well when weed suppression and erosion control are some of your goals. This means Frosty berseem clover can be a species to consider as another tool for working into your crop rotation.”
