A popular pasture legume in in the mid 20th century, It is today used large in wild life plots. It is a heavier nitrogen fixer and was vauable to plant with grasses for both cattle and hog pastures. It has very low fiber and is useless for hay. Not only would it clog the old horse drawn mowing machines, but when dry it shrank to almost nothing.
