How is your clover plots doing?

So I planted some crimson,ladino,and durana clover along with some wheat and winter rye back on the first week of October last year. Soil test was done prior to planting and adjusted per LSU recommendations. The wheat and winter rye grew super fast. I think it grew to fast and I may have planted to much seed because its super think too. By the time December rolled around it was knee deep. I was not expecting that. I tried looking for clover in the grass but did not see as much as I was hoping for.
Am I being to impatient? This is my first attempt on clover plot but I think I may of failed. I will be cutting the wheat and winter rye this week in hopes that the clover will take off.
How is your clover plots looking right now?

Probably should have cut it sooner. If the wheat got that high, the deer weren't eating it enough.

If you have access to a spray rig, spray it with Poast or Select. That will release the clover better than clipping it.

When I got time I was going to make a post about this. NC, thinking of spraying then broadcasting cow peas in the clover with the thought that the clover will give the peas protection to get up a bit.
Any thoughts?

I was going to cut it for the turkey season then spray it after. Think that would be okay?

I agree 100% now. At the time I did not want to disturb the area so I did not cut it.

My decision would be based on height. If it's 6-8" high now, I would spray it.
If it's 12-18" high or higher I would cut it. Then wait a few weeks and spray it.

I'm not a big fan of that idea for a couple of reasons.
1) those peas won't do well broadcast into weedy ground. If anything, they might do ok if you No Till drilled them. I think scattering them would be a waste
2) I'm not a fan of planting and managing two crops at one time in the same place. I do a lot better focusing on one thing at a time.
Just my thoughts

I usually spray clethodim 2E with crop oil mixed in and wait about 2 weeks before cutting. Works well for me.

So has anyone looked at their clover plots? Is it growing, for still dormant from the winter?

Wanting to put cowpeas in a marsh spot. Where are you getting them from?
