Values of mixed forage crops 
A crop of mixed grasses and clovers is useful 
for green forage from about June 20 to July 10, 
according to the locality and season. It is one 
of the most palatable and useful of our forage 
crops, making a well-balanced ration in itself, 
and producing a relatively large yield of dry 
matter.
