Growth Results Like our other Chicory/Clover mixes, this variety germinated well and and came up strong the first year. However unlike our other clover plots we decided not to mow this one. That was not a great idea, we have a lot of grass competition here and some of the clover was swallowed up. |

Activity Results We had good activity here in the early season, primarily September. But the grass invasion limited the amount of quality forage and the deer lost interest by October. |

Comments We wanted to see how well Durana competed with grass without mowing. I won't do the again. Durana likes to be mowed and mowed often. |
