Although sweet clover is one of the most widely grown legumes in the corn belt states for soil improvement and pasture purposes, yet the elimination of certain undesirable features would enhance its value as a forage crop. Many strains now grown are early maturing and do not properly fit into a well balanced pasture program. Late maturity, disease resistance, increased palatability, and ability to produce a seed crop are characteristics essential toward making sweet clover a forage crop well adapted to the more humid section of the corn belt.
