Fall Deer Plot Mix

It is the middle of August and time to start thinking about putting in your fall deer plot. This year we have had some strange weather patterns. We have had more rain than normal in August. With that being said lets get to plot mixes. Many companies made up plot mixes, the one we carry contains; wheat, oats, annual ryegrass, columbian field peas and crimson clover. This mix comes in a 50# bag and will cover one acre of ground. This mix is good because it contains grasses; wheat, oats, and ryegrass, and legumes; field peas and crimson clover. These five seeds are all annuals and have to reseed themselves to come back. The oats and ryegrass will come up quick to give you early cover then the wheat, clover and field peas will come on later to increase the food value of the plot in late fall and winter. That is if the deer don't keep them grazed down. Some folks will also add some alfalfa to the mix as well as some brassica; rape or turnips. We have all these items as well as the individual seeds; wheat, oats, ryegrass, austrain winter peas, and crimson clover. We also carry chicory, brassica, turnips, and alfalfa. Don't forget about trophy rocks or deer blocks to help round out your arsenal. Let us know if we can be of help Farmers Grain Co. 102 W 1st Edmond, OK 73003 or 405-341-3310.
