Clover

Annual clovers produce high yields of easily digestible forage. Clover is relatively easy to establish, readily available, and affordable. There are a variety of species to handle most any climate or soil type. To put it simply, clovers are a very versatile deer forage. Perennial clovers are typically mixed with other perennial varieties and consistently attract large numbers of wildlife species.

Forage Peas/Oats

Forage peas and oats blended produce high-quality forage for livestock or wildlife consumption. Oats are usually combined with the peas to support upright growth.

Trefoil

Birdsfoot trefoil is a perennial that adapts well to production on poorly drained, low-pH soils. Think of trefoil as your food plot’s insurance policy. During a drought, while other plot species are dwindling, trefoil will thrive. It is very heat-tolerant and preferred by different species of game like deer, turkey, pheasant, rabbit, and quail.

Game Food Sorghum

Annual grain sorghum typically reaches mid-bloom about 40-50 days after emergence. Mature plants can grow 26″ to 30″ in height. The seed becomes edible at maturity and is readily consumed by upland game birds such as quail, turkey, pheasant, and other migratory birds, including duck, geese, and dove. Deer are also feeders of this grain-producing plant.

Soybeans

Soybeans might be the most preferred forage of whitetail deer. When they first emerge, deer will browse the young sprouts and consume the high-protein leaves and stems like candy. This will last from April or May until the plant starts to yellow in late summer or early fall. Then, for a brief time as they ripen and yellow, deer will avoid the bean fields only to return a few weeks later to once again pound the pods filled with the ripened beans.

Corn

Add corn to a food plot as a high-energy food source for cool-season nutrition. Corn requires good fertility and is a heavy nitrogen user. In addition to providing a tasty meal and energy source for deer, corn makes outstanding bedding and thermal cover for deer if left unharvested.

Eco-Till™ Radish

A forage radish that is highly palatable and not only provides a valuable food source to wild game but also serves as a nutrient-mining cover crop. It assists in breaking up soil compaction and restoring essential nutrients to the ground level. Deer love the greens and tops of tubers. It is an excellent way to start a perennial food plot the following season after planting.

Sunn Hemp

A rapid-establishing warm-season legume that produces large amounts of biomass. Deer prefer to forage on the leaves, while other wildlife species such as turkey and quail take shelter in Sunn Hemp’s natural cover/canopy.

Alfalfa

Alfalfa is a perennial with new growth produced from the crown each year. Alfalfa hay is highly palatable and nutritious with very high digestible protein, mineral, and vitamin contents. It offers outstanding winter hardiness. Leafy, dark-green, and fine-stemmed, alfalfa has high yield potential over a wide variety of soil types.

Chicory

A tough perennial forb that contributes to rumen health in deer. Chicory lasts 2-5 years, survives tough soil conditions, and is heat-tolerant. It is excellent for fall attraction and blends well with other food plot species for custom mixtures.
