• Facts to Note: Planted in the fall. Tolerates a minimum temperature of 10°F. This high quality crimson clover seed is good for pastures and can easily be overgrazed; animals love it. Fixes 80 lb of nitrogen (N) per acre, and is used as a cover crop in grain rather than row crop rotations, because it matures late.

Note to Certified Organic Growers: All our cover crop seed is untreated, non-GMO seed. This is conventional seed, but all seeds are coated with Nitro-Coat Organic, which is an OMRI listed coating. This coating uses all organic ingredients: the proper rhizobacteria, a Calcium Carbonate coating that is naturally water absorbing to speed seed germination, and an OMRI listed organic adhesive.
