The last couple of years, I have planted a crimson and medium red clover, Austrian winter pea, and wheat mix in some food plots. Vetch volunteers to add to the mix. I plowed one plot down this spring and planted corn. The way it's growing, even without much rain, tells me the mix really helped.
Much of my soil is light and sandy and depleted from years of neglect. I get a good crop of spotted knapweed which I plan to treat with Milestone or another herbicice that will kill it. Over all, organic matter, nitrogen, etc. what is the best soil imporovement crop? I've planted rye in the knapweed area but it doesn't crowd it out. Vetch usually climbs the rye stems.
These are all realatively small areas, most less than a half acre.
