Hello Peter and Everyone, Decades ago the Federal government seed millions of acres of public lands with sweet clover. I'm in Wyoming and very little sweet clover is now planted. It was used to seed reclaimation projects and provide some initial cover long enough for the various grasses to get established. Today it's considered invasive and is mowed and sprayed. It some places it's the only green thing growing along the roadside but will be promply sprayed by the Road Department, that is unless the rancher doesn't bail it up first:>) Dennis BEE-L is hosted at the State University of New York at Albany
