The post on frost seeding peaked my interest. What are these seed mixes mostly made up of? I almost bought some of the whitetailhill cover mix (https://whitetailhill.com/collections/best-sellers/products/whitetail-hill-clover ) but for $40 per half acre, I imagine I could just go to the coop and make something similar? It says it included 5 of the "best" clover out there.... It mentions balansa, white, and crimson.... Most commercial brands have their own blends of clover. I know I have read post in the past but couldn't remember which thread it was in.

Why doesn't anyone ever publish their seed tag?

Because even more folks would realize they are getting ripped off.

This stuff is basically $12 per pound. So you are already paying 300-400% markup just for them to mix the varieties of clover together.

And OP, yes, you can make it yourself....

The only problem, several co ops will not break a 50lb bag.... so you would have to buy a 50lb bag of Balansa, Crimson, Ladino. That becomes cost prohibitive if you are doing small acreages.

Got an email from them on their clover, had to just laugh at their prices. Best premixed clover blends I have used come from pennington seed. They aren't crazy over priced either.
 
Had my frost seed clover mix done last fall when I picked up my other seed.

25% durana/25% balansa/50% arrowleaf
$150/50#
