RACKMASTER Clover Trio mix is a 50/50 blend of annual clover (crimson) and perennial clovers (medium red and intermediate white) that offers staggered maturity dates to provide abundant amounts of protein and energy rich forage for deer, turkey and other wildlife for an extended time period. The crimson clover establishes and grows fast to provide an immediate high protein food supply to help meet the high nutritional needs of does and bucks during the colder months following the rut. As it matures in the spring, the crimson clover provides excellent food, cover and habitat for browsing turkey. The perennial medium red and intermediate white (Durana or Patriot) clovers come on in spring to provide a high protein and energy food source into the summer months, the following fall, and beyond. Under favorable growing conditions and proper management, these perennial clovers can supply browsing for up to 10 months annually for 3-5 years or longer without replanting.  RACKMASTER Clover Trio features RapidResults seed germination enhancement technology which promotes quicker emergence and stronger, deeper root growth. The result is a hardier and more productive food plot.

USES:

To attract and provide nutrition and habitat for deer and turkey and other wildlife. To provide a highly palatable source of protein during the colder months following the rut. To furnish high quality nutrition for post-rut bucks and pregnant does and does nursing fawns. To provide cover and browsing habitat for turkey and other wildlife. In a mixture with winter annual small grains to boost protein and energy content, and enhance deer and turkey attraction.

Planting & Growing Instructions

Planting:
Method: Choose a site that receives a minimum of 6 - 8 hours of full sun. Prepare a smooth, firm seedbed by plowing and dragging the soil. Fertilizer and lime should be applied during this process to mix and incorporate it into the soil. Broadcast seed at the recommended rate evenly across the soil surface with a seeder designed for sowing small seed. Use a light drag, culti-packer or similar roller device following seed application to cover the seed. The use of a culti-packer or roller after seeding ensures good seed/soil contact which improves stand emergence. Seed can also be drilled into a firm seedbed with a no-till planter equipped with a small seed hopper attachment. (Caution should be taken to plant seed at the recommended seeding depth.)
Seeding Date: South - Sept. 15 thru Nov. 1; Upper South - Sept. 1 thru Oct. 15; North - Aug. 15 thru Oct. 1 
Seeding Rate: 10 lbs. /acre (4 ozs. /1000 sq.ft.) for a pure stand; 3-5 lbs. /acre (1-2 oz./1000 sq.ft.) if seeded in mixes. 
Depth: 1/8” – 1/4” maximum (stand failures will result from seed planted too deep).
Fertilizer: Soil testing is highly recommended. Liming to a pH of 6.0-6.5 and providing adequate levels of potassium and phosphorus are necessary to ensure a productive clover stand. See your local county extension office for soil sampling assistance. In the absence of a soil test, apply 300 lbs./acre 0-20-20 
 (7 lbs./1000 sq. ft.) or an equivalent fertilizer and 1 ton/acre ag lime (50 lbs./1000 sq. ft.). Note: Only fertilizers containing zero or small percentages of nitrogen (5% or less) should be used on pure stands of Clover Trio. Apply fertilizer just prior to seeding. If practical, apply lime a minimum of 3 months before planting.
Inoculant: RACKMASTER Clover Trio seed come pre-inoculated with selected Rhizobia strains of bacteria for optimal root nodulation and nitrogen fixation.
Special Note: Aggressive winter annual forages such as ryegrass should be controlled/suppressed with appropriate herbicides to allow the clover to establish.

Management: 
Soil fertility – For newly established food plots, collect soil samples annually for the first three years to closely monitor soil pH and soil nutrient content. Once pH and soil fertility have reached adequate levels, soil sample every 3 years to monitor soil nutrient levels. Apply lime to maintain a soil pH of 6.2 to 6.5. Add phosphorous and potassium fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Only fertilizers containing zero or small percentages of nitrogen (5% or less) should be used on pure stands of clover. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer leads to poor nitrogen fixation, increased incidence of clover disease and greater weed competition. 
Weed control - Broadleaf weeds including pigweed, ragweed, coffeeweed, etc. as well as weedy grasses such as crabgrass, signalgrass, panicums, johnsongrass, etc., may become problematic in perennial clover food plots. Plots should be mowed periodically to keep unwanted weeds and grasses in check. When mowing, set the mower to remove no more than the top 1/3 of the clover foliage. Note that taller broadleaf weeds may have 50% or more of their foliage removed by the mowing operation. Chemical weed and grass control - If a height differential exists between weeds and the clover, glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) can be applied with a wiper or rope-wick type of device to weeds growing above the clover canopy. Do not allow this herbicide mixture to come into contact with the clover foliage. A selective herbicide that only controls grassy weeds can be broadcast over pure clover stands to kill or suppress annual and perennial grasses. Extension weed control recommendations in some states include the use of low rates of 2,4-D amine (1pt/A or less) on well-established stands of perennial white clover to control/suppress many broadleaf weeds when they are less than 3 inches in height. (Consult with the local university extension office for local herbicide recommendations and rates.) To minimize clover injury, herbicides should be applied when clover is free from drought and heat stress.
Control damaging insects – Monitor perennial clover food plots at least every 2-3 weeks throughout the summer months for damaging worm presence. If worms are found and foliage feeding damage is significant, an appropriate insecticide should be applied. The local university extension office can provide information on treatment thresholds and recommended insecticides for worms on clover.
Special Note: When using pesticides, carefully read and follow all label guidelines for mixing, applying and personal safety. If applying herbicides, extreme care should be taken to avoid overlapping the spray and to also prevent herbicide drift or accidental application to any desirable plants, trees and shrubs adjacent to the target area being sprayed.

Tips for Successful Food Plots:
1. Every successful food plot begins with a soil test. Most woodland soils have low pH and low fertility. A soil test will tell you how much fertilizer and lime is needed. Information on taking a soil test can be obtained from your local county extension office.
2. Spend the extra time necessary to properly prepare the soil by plowing, smoothing and firming the ground. Planting on a weed free, smooth and firm seedbed that allows good seed-soil contact is essential for a thick, productive forage stand.
3. Plant seed at the proper seeding depth. Planting too shallow or too deep can result in stand failure. Seed mixes containing small seeded legumes and forbs should not be seeded deeper than ¼ inch. Use a cultipacker, log or a light drag to firm the soil after planting.
4. When selecting a wildlife food plot site, choose an area that is long and narrow with curves or bends in it. This provides a sense of comfort and safety for wildlife. When developing food plots, a good rule of thumb is to plant 2.5 to 7 acres of food plots for every 100 acres of habitat.
5. Avoid droughty sites such as eroded hillsides or shallow, rocky soils. Southwest facing slopes are hotter in the summer and tend to dry out faster than bottom land. 
6. A minimum of 50% full sunshine is essential for a healthy and productive food plot. Morning sun is better than afternoon sun for summer game food plots. The reverse is generally true in the winter.

    Extremely thorough yet easily readable...
    Format: Kindle
    Describing this book as thorough is an understatement. The title starts off with a bold claim, one that might seem skeptical, but the authors actually delivered. I'm beyond impressed, to say the least. I've had my nose in this book off and on all day and yet I'm still only exactly 33% through it. I'm not even sure I can say I'm reading this book. It's more like I'm studying it. Chapter 6 in particular rang a bell. "Buy on the fringe and wait. Buy land near a growing city!" This reminds me of an approach I know and love which is self-titled "the borderlands strategy." Hello places like Frisco, TX / Dallas suburbs. This book is a masterclass in professional, knowledgeable people offering an extremely high-quality product at a great price. There are even enticing offers at the end of each chapter, which is something marketers (and real estate individuals) can really take note of. (Lead gen.) So many good things to say. Probably the most concise way of doing so is by saying it really is a real estate bible, yet is still easy to read. No complex terms or challenging math. No walls of text. (Examples that do include math are straightforward and easy to follow.) Great buy that has been extremely enjoyable and thought provoking. Can see myself referring back to this constantly for years and years.

    Solid breakdown of real estate investing for beginners
    Format: Kindle
    Aye, this book actually surprised me. It’s super beginner-friendly and doesn’t just throw a bunch of complicated real estate jargon at you. I think in Chapter 5, they covered creative financing options, which I found pretty dope. There’s a part where they explain “subject-to financing” basically, how you can take over a mortgage without making a new one, which could mean little to no down payment. Didn’t even know that was a thing. The book also lays out step-by-step strategies for getting started, from choosing a strategy to closing deals. Some parts felt a little surface-level, and I kinda wish they went deeper into financing for people with bad credit, but overall, it’s solid. If you’re new to real estate and want a simple, no-BS breakdown, this one’s worth checking out.
