How many pounds per acre do you guys plant. I am going to be using inoculated seed and broadcast it . I will also be mixing in some wheat. What I have read is 4 pounds of pure clover seed per acre or 9 pounds of inoculated seed as over 50 percent of the weight is inoculant. Does this sound about right.

6 pounds sounds about right to me. What I have read is that it is important to get a thick stand established to help control weeds.

Also watch the depth, be careful, less than a 1/4 in. absolutely I modified my drill many years ago to drop clover, alfalfa and rape seed on top and followed with a cultipacker this gave me my best stands and I set at 4 or 5 pounds/acre this was worked ground my father-in-law cultipacked before seeding and after to keep seed from going to deep in loose ground and he was a life long dairy farmer

I have heard to broadcast anywhere from 3 to 10 pounds per acre. My main objective is to get a thick stand to help weed control. The area I am going to plant is currently fescue. The plan is to till it three times and then broadcast the clover with a 4 wheeler.
