Seems to be strong demand for clover by the look of retail pricing.
All the cover crop hype and programs might be influencing it.
Most used to go to the U S.

Will you grow it again?

Seems there is demand for it for now yes. I’ll leave this field in and see how next year goes before I seed anymore. The late season harvesting and limited hours in a day of good harvest conditions is a major drawback but the net revenue can be attractive with prices where they currently are providing it produces any yield.

You must have just experienced it differently. We are having great weather in West Central Alberta now. The entire forecast is highs of well above zero.
When a contrast from the distinct pictures I posted about. We had Lowe's of -20, eyes not much better than that. Ground was freezing, nearly a foot of snow on the ground. Now the snow is basically all gone. The mud is drying up. Back in the field again.
There is still some crop out in the area, looks like they will get their second chance.

Yes you can really tell what is happening to the global climate by looking out the window in Manitoba on one day in November out of 30 years!

Catching up on Agriville today. Sorry no pictures. It was interesting to read the adventures harvesting clover.
I grew clovers in the late 80's during the times of the set aside programs in the USA. I grew double cut red clover. I swathed it and 40 acres took a week of combining with the old Versatile 5000. Go out at 1pm and quit at 5pm . Very difficult to thresh seed out of the bells. Had to be bone dry. Combine would be covered in dust 5 inches thick. Always had to watch for fire. Did harvest about 300 lbs/acre and sold for $1.35/lb. Second year yield was about 80 lbs/acre and the price dropped to about 35 cents.
I also grew some sweet clover which was a crop from hell to harvest. It was combined with the hulls on and i got enough to fill a 12x16 wood bin from about 15 acres. In true farmer fashion i refused 85cents /lb and held out until the next fall for 15 cents
