> I've got an acre tilled up and could use some suggestions.

Ladino, Alsike clovers or Hairy vetch. if tilled up.

Dutch makes the best honey of the clovers (my opinion) but is not dependable
in most areas. First to burn up in a dry year. The deep rooted yellow &
white are the most dependable in a dry year as they are deep rooted.

Plant the yellow & white sweet clovers if you plan on letting the field grow
tall. Cattle & horses will keep too short if many on the field.

Most beekeepers use the yellow & white around fence lines which are not
mowed.

 >The land is
full sun. Soil is sandy loam. We live in SW lower Michigan.

Clovers do well in most areas but has a hard time competing with fescue
grass in our area. I believe the fescue would almost completely choke out
the clover if not for cutting hay and grazing livestock. giving the clovers
a break.
