Abstract
Description
In 1956, North Dakota grew 300,000 acres of sweet clover
annually. The crop sweet clover enriches the soil. Several varieties are discussed in this article and recommendations on which variety grows best in which region of the state. The article cites the need for the development of a low coumarin sweet clover which would eliminate two of the undesirable characteristics of sweet clover, poor palatability and the hazard of bleeding.
