I’m planting the heritage blend as well but I have a dilemma. I have a thick stand of Durana clover in all of my 8 plots. Should I clip my clover close to the ground and drill into it or should I terminate the clover then plant. I’m worried that the clover will shade out newly planted seeds and inhibit germination. Any suggestions?

I would hate to disrupt that. A good stand of Durana is hard to beat. And if it's good well drained soil, it could be viable all year.

At most I would disk up half of it. Either do half of each plot over to summer forage. Or select half the plots to convert.

If you're gonna leave some plots and convert some, I would suggest leaving the best, deepest, loamy soil in Durana. It might persist. Convert the less desirable soils into your summer plots.

Just my 2c
