<strong>Seed</strong> production from mixed crops ?<br />

From a Danish growers’ recommendation, 1923:<br />

<strong>Seed</strong> producion of timothy should be carried out, as they used<br />

to in former days, by sowing timothy together with alsike or<br />

red clover.<br />

The first year crop should be harvested as hay, and the<br />

second year crop as timothy seed. If the clover is successful<br />

in the first year, a high yield of timothy seed can be harvested<br />

in the second year, even without any fertilizer input.<br />

(Lindhard & Bagge, 1923, freely translated)<br />

But how were purity requirements in 1923 ????
