Farm Tour: Seeding Red Clover After Wheat

Dean Orr is opening his fields near King City for a morning on red clover seeded after winter wheat.

We’ll walk the stand and talk through what Dean is seeing — how the clover established, where it sits in his rotation, and what he’d do differently next time. This is a straightforward look at a rotation decision a lot of wheat growers are weighing, from a farmer who has run it.

From the field we move to saving seed to seed. Dean will take us through the cleaning process and the equipment behind it — the step that usually happens out of sight, and the one most people have never watched up close.

The morning wraps with a light lunch and time to talk shop with other growers working through the same questions.

What we’ll cover

• Red clover fields planted after winter wheat harvest — establishment, stand quality, and how it fits the rotation
• Saving seed to seed, including the seed cleaning process and equipment
• Open discussion and networking over a light lunch
