Excellent for attracting deer in the daytime. Seedpods burst open when ripe. Quail and dove will consume seeds and foliage, while deer, turkey and rabbits eat the vines and leaves.Type: A cool season reseeding annual legume Uses: Hairy vetch makes an excellent addition to fall planted deer mixtures. Its spring forage production is very palatable to deer and turkeys and it makes an excellent seed crop for quail and turkey. Planting Hairy Vetch For Food PlotsPlant early spring through summer after danger of frost on well prepared seedbed. Fertilization on an annual basis will keep the forage and seed rate higher.Date: Sept. – Oct.Rate: 20 lbs./acre or ½ lb./1000 sq. ft.Depth: ½” maximumBest For: Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, and Quail Short-term, legume green manure for nitrogen fixation. Sow spring to late summer with or without grain, grass, or field peas. When sown late summer, spring regrowth is vigorous and nitrogen producing for tilling in before planting the spring garden crops. Typical nitrogen produced is 110 lbs./acre. This rapid spring growth also makes it a good weed suppressant. Hairy vetch prefers well-drained soils with a Ph of 6.0-7.0, and will do poorly in clay or wet fields. It will do well in soils too acidic for many clovers and alfalfas. May have some allopathic properties, so it is best to allow 2-3 weeks between incorporating and seeding of small-seeded crops. This selected hardy strain is widely adapted and withstands all but severe winters if sown in late summer or fall. Sow at 1 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (40 lb./acre) with rye or oats. Avg. 11,400 seeds/lb.GROWING INFORMATIONLegumesCULTURE:Sow the seeds at the time and rate specified for each variety listed. All legumes should be planted 1/4 to 1/2″ deep. FOR GREEN MANURE:For best results, till under when in the flowering stage. SEED SPECS:Planting rates are listed with the variety copy. Organic systems should plant 1/3 to 1/2 heavier to allow for some weed pressures.

Laredo soybeans are widely used in food plots for deer, turkey, quail and other wildlife throughout the South and Central US. These forage soybeans can reach 4′ in height and make an excellent choice for quail habitat and summer wildlife protein. Laredo Soybeans are preferred by dairies for soybean hay over other varieties. These soybeans offer a black bean that is not a oil type. Not used for cash grain crops. These soybeans are also used for soil building as a a cover crop. Soybeans fix or enrich the soil with nitrogen. Soybeans can fix as much as 40 units of N in 100 days. Seed Rate: 30 – 40 lbs. per acre; 1 lb. per 1000 sq. ft. Seed Depth: 1/2 – 1 inch Planting Time: Spring – Fall
10 Pounds Buckbuster Forage Rape Seed Food Plot for Deer and Other Wildlife
Buckbuster Rape Seed – Rape seed produces a food plot forage used extensively in New Zealand and Europe for deer food plots and livestock grazing. Rape is a fast growing brassica that is heat, cold and drought tolerant making it adapted to most all of the USA and southern Canada. Athena rape seed performs similar to the Dwarf Essex Rape Seed variety.Planting Rape Seed for Food Plots or ForageDate: Best Planting For North and South USA is August – October; Can be planted in Spring in the Northern states above the “line” of West Virginia to Missouri; Planting in the Spring in the Southern and lower Northern states will shorten crop life due to summer heat. Northern planting may see a shortened crop life if hard freezes are experienced. Rape food plots will not survive summer heat or hard freezes. Note: Rape becomes more attractive to deer after a frost because the sugar content will become more concentrated.Planting Rate: 5-10 LBS. per acre.Depth: No deeper than 1/4″Germination: Will occur when soil temperatures reach 65° – 70° – Planting DepthSeed SpacingSpacing Between RowsDays To GerminationSpacing After ThinningDays To Maturity1/4-1/2 in/6-13 mm2 in / 5 cm2 ft/61 cm5-1412-18 in/30-46 cm55-70

It has hollow, slender and succulent stems, 2 to 4 feet long. The foliage is pale green, and the flowers are colored, usually purple, pink or reddish. The leaf consists of one to three pairs of leaflets and terminal branched tendrils. Pods are 1.5 to 2.5 inches long with three to five round, dark-colored seeds. Seed color is commonly gray with purple or brown mottles. Seed size is fairly large with test weights of 55 to 60 pounds per bushel.As the name implies, Austrian Winter Peas have good winter-hardiness and can be successfully grown fall-seeded in the intermountain region valleys. However, during severe winters, when the small pea plants are exposed to long periods of sub-zero weather without snow cover, they may be winter-killed. Austrian Winter Peas can also be grown spring-seeded as a summer annual. **Austrian Winter Peas are non-GMO**
Medium Red Clover Seed Deer/Wildlife food plot Weed Suppression Hay Cover Crop
PLEASE READ THIS LIVE PRODUCT WARRANTY BEFORE ORDERING OUR SEED Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as, proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. These factors are totally out of the seller’s control and are the growers responsibility and risk. Our seed cannot be unconditionally guaranteed to perform properly – regardless of weather conditions or the growers methods or mistakes.Medium red clover (also known as double-cut) is a short-lived perennial, 2-3 years and usually produces 2-3 cuttings of hay or silage per year with the most aggressive growth in the spring. Medium red clover is an aggressive establisher and can be seeded alone or in mixtures with grasses, frost or dormant seeded into an existing stand.Medium red clover is a short-lived perennial used to supply nitrogen. Unlike other legumes, it fixes a lot of nitrogen even in high-nitrogen soils. It has shade tolerance so it can be overseeded into small grains and incorporated in May of the following year. Since red clover seedlings tend to be slow growing, it benefits from a nurse crop. It forms tap roots and is useful for remediation of compacted soils. Red clover is also good for weed suppression. Medium red clover prefers cool weather conditions. This crop is well-adapted a wide range of soil types and conditions. Medium red clover tolerates wet conditions better than vetch. It can be overseeded on small grains and if the soil is not crusted, it can be overseeded in vegetable crops with no additional preparation to the land. Seeding RateDrill or broadcast at 10 lb/ac.For a nurse crop, mix 2/3 annual ryegrass with 1/3 medium red clover, sow 20-25 lb/ac. After seeding, roll the ground to improve seed-to-soil contact but do not break up soil aggregates.Seeding DateFebruary–March for frost seeding.April–September.Clover can be seeded with turf grass or small grains.MaintenanceMow medium red clover during the summer of the first year. It can be seeded between established rows, reducing soil compaction in well-traveled areas.Plant 10-20 lbs. of seed per acre, no deeper than 1/4″.
