I really think we get hung up on how pretty it looks to us and lose perspective on how much true benefit its actually providing..... Not that it isnt providing any benefit but not as much as the picturesque beauty leads us to believe……I will say that one pro should be that you if you can grow clover all summer then you should have some N to run your fall cereal grains off of but in a fertile situation with high OM I’m not sure that it would be limiting anyways even with less summer clover……The exclusion cage pic above of crimson clover and cereal rye was grown without any additional N inputs or summer clover crops and grew fine
