Crimson clover supplies a protein rich and highly palatable food source for deer and other wildlife species. With crude protein levels of 16 to 24% and total digestible nutrient (TDN) content ranging from 60 to 70%, Crimson clover establishes and grows fast making it a highly attractive and nutritious food source for deer from late fall into spring. As a legume, it fixes 50 – 75 lbs. or more nitrogen per acre providing ample quantities needed for its own growth while sharing some with companion forages (when used in mixes), thus reducing the need for purchased nitrogen fertilizer. Crimson clover also provides excellent habitat for browsing turkey and pollinators. It is excellent when planted alone and also in mixes with small grains, brassica, forbs and/or other clovers.
