Description

Rancher Red Clover is Van Dyke Seed’s first licensed red clover variety, developed to meet the demands of real-world pasture and hay systems. Bred by McCarthy LLC using germplasm tracing back to Hedges, Rancher combines proven genetics with modern improvements.

It establishes quickly and delivers vigorous regrowth, helping maintain stand density and forage production over time. Improved disease resistance supports better persistence, while strong winter hardiness allows Rancher to hold up through tough conditions and return in the spring.

With its heightened forage yield and reliable performance, Rancher Red Clover fits well into grazing systems, hay production, and pasture renovation projects where consistency matters.

Planting Conditions:

• Typical seeding rate: 8 to 12 lbs per acre
• Suitable for pasture renovation, hay fields, and mixed forage stands
• Can be drilled or broadcast with good seed to soil contact
• Performs well in spring or fall planting windows
