Thanks...not real sure about the protien level part of things, but I do understand the drought resistance.
I like to mix lots of varieties to cover most of the extreme conditions a plot would encounter throughout the year. Maybe this isn't the best approach but I have had great luck going into my 4th year.
My plot is a mix of Kopu II White Clover, Jumbo Ladino Clover, Prestige White Clover, Alsike, Alice White, and Chicory.

The mix that Ghost has planted has worked extremely well for me also except I have not planted much alsike.
I would urge anyone who is interested in planting clover and trying to understand which clovers might work best for them, to read thru our
Clover thread to see many different varieties of white and red clovers being tested and compared in ongoing comparisons.
There is no one perfect clover or food plot for that matter, nor is there one perfect seed distributor. We have plenty of seed and seed salesmen to choose from and we try to give all a fair shot here.
I'm afraid Ghost and I are cut from the same mold (boy that is a scary thought... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif )I can't see spending a boat load of money for anything I can't justify...and top quality well tested white clover seed such as
Alice White Clover is hard to beat.
I can see that I need to check on the cost of forage/protien testing and do some comparing of my own. No offense to the fine people at WI but I suspect that cattlemen the world over would be planting nothing but Imperial clover if it was in fact 10% higher in protien then clovers such as Alice... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
