The aim of the research was to reveal the red clover forage yield and its distribution to individual cuts during 2022 at one location in eastern Croatia. The research was conducted through a field experiment on the plot of the experimental site of the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek near Tenja. Seeding and mowing of the experimental plots were done manually. The annual yields of fresh herbage and forage dry matter in the conducted field experiment were very low and much lower than the yields reported by previous researchers. It is assumed that two causes prevented the realization of the production potential of red clover: 1.) an extremely low amount of precipitation during the red clover vegetation, which was associated with a severe drought, and 2.) the late winter (near the early spring) seeding date, which is why the young plants met a strong and long-lasting drought with weaker and more shallowly developed roots than would older and well-rooted plants. Failed establishment of red clover by autumn seeding on September 27 has shown that, in order to achieve the successful overwintering of the young crop, the seeding date should not be delayed beyond the traditionally recommended (August 15 to September 8) despite climate changes (warming, extended summer and shortened winter). Regarding the yield distribution, it was usual: the most yielding was the first cut, followed by the second cut, and the smallest was the third, or the last cut. It is assumed that in case of successful overwintering of the young crop, it would be possible to achieve at least four cuts during the growing season, with an annual sum of dry matter yield of about 10 t/ha.
