This blend is designed to produce the maximum amount of seed through the summer and early fall. The varying maturities of the plants in this mix allow the food plot to produce a constant source of seed to attract and hold game birds for an extended period of time. Used as both food and cover by turkey, quail, dove and waterfowl. Non-GMO Planting Rate: Broadcast 25-35 lbs/acre, or Drill 15-25 lbs/acre Optimum Planting Date: April thru June (plant after last frost date; can plant later with moisture) Planting Methods: Fertilize and lime according to soil test. Drill or broadcast the seed and cover to 1?2 inch deep. If broadcasting, use a light disk or drag to achieve this coverage. Planting on a clean, loose, weed-free seed bed and covering the seed to the appropriate depth will greatly increase the successful growth of your food plot.
