Long term-experiments in Wisconsin have demonstrated that kura clover will persist for 13 years (and counting) and can be a truly permanent component of a pasture or hayfield. It has survived winters that damaged adjacent alfalfa and red clover fields. It is the last plant to disappear around water tanks or mineral feeders in pastures. Fatal diseases of kura clover have not been observed. Furthermore, fiber levels of kura clover are consistently lower and protein and digestibility consistently greater than other legumes (with the exception of white clover) and grasses used as forage in the Great Lakes Region. So, how can we employ this unique legume on farms in the northern USA? Three means to capitalize on the unique characteristics of kura clover have been investigated in Wisconsin and will be discussed.
