Where I am farming now has abundant gophers and ground squirrel populations. When the rains come I am going to seed indian sour clover. The anecdote that I’ve heard about claims that this clover “Sour clover is high in coumarin, the original source of the blood

the coumarin adversely affects their blood chemistry.”
