So does permanent mean it grows back yearly or it is hard to kill?

Perennial, yes (not all clover is perennial, FYI).
No, plow as usual. You may develop a slight seed bank, but you will get that no matter what if you don't keep up with things.
If you want to work it a bit more (as in a couple times a year) you could do a field pea/buckwheat mix. It would dramatically raise the N as the field pea would fix N (nitrogen) from the atmosphere while the buckwheat takes the N from the soil and locks it up in the buckwheat (the N from the buckwheat then goes back into the soil after you till it in), but it tricks the peas into fixing much more N from the atmosphere. If you do keep knocking it down and re-seeding before the buckwheat goes to seed, you will dramatically increase the organic matter in the soil, keep weeds at bay (both field pea and buckwheat drown out weeds), and build a lot of N, without creating a seed bank from letting something like clover go essentially wild.
