Seed Ranch Soybean Food Plot Seed – 1 Lb.

Soybeans (For Wildlife Food Plots) Warm season annual legume produced for seed and wildlife food. Soybeans are very attractive to deer from the onset of emergence. Very important food source for doves, duck, rabbit, quail and turkey. Soybeans are especially attractive to wildlife because they also offer cover. They are so preferred that most small acreage plantings will be killed quickly by deer grazing pressure. It will not re-grow from early browse pressure, so it will need fencing or repellents in small fields. Soybeans are ideal for mixing with grain sorghum, peas, corn, alyce clover or other warm season annual legumes. At maturity it will make high quality seed for game birds and deer. Individual plantings of soybeans can be staggered by planting date to provide season long production. Planting: Date: April – August Rate: 35 lbs. per acre or 1 lb. per 1000 sq. ft. Depth: 1″ Best for: Deer, Turkey, Duck, Pheasant, Rabbit, Quail.

Iron & Clay Cowpea Seed

Iron and Clay Cowpeas Food Plot SeedsGreat food plot item – The deer will flock to these peas especially when they are new little tender seedlings just emerging at the 1-2 leaf stage. Cowpeas are a favorite for a good hardy southern area food plot.Iron and clay cowpeas are one of the most popular peas for wildlife enthusiasts who are planting warm season plots for deer and other wildlife. They are extremely high yielding in forage mass with high protein levels. They tend to be productive throughout the summer. Cowpeas are generally very tolerant to deer pressure and once established have good re-growth potential. They will also produce seeds in pods in late summer that make excellent quail and turkey food as they dry and shatter.Iron & Clay Peas (Iron-Clay Cowpeas) are a southern favorite for food plots and are an easily planted crop either in row or by broadcasting. This is an annual legume that provides forage and seeds for deer and game birds alike and can be planted in early March through September depending upon the climate zone.PLANTING RATESPlant 3-5 lb. per 1000 sq. ft.These peas are ideal mixed with other food plot additives and are easy to divide and plant as short strips between other crops.

Potomac orchard grass seed (Certified)

Potomac Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata)Plant 10 – 20 Lbs per Acre.Orchardgrass is a bunch-type, tall-growing, cool-season perennial grass. It is one of the most productive cool-season grasses, tolerant to shade, fairly drought resistant with moderate winter hardiness. Orchardgrass does not exhibit as much tolerance to drought or winter hardiness as tall fescue and bromegrass. It has been reported growing in the United States since before 1760.Most orchardgrass is seeded with a companion legume. Seeding methods Drilling orchardgrass and the companion legume seed is preferred. The use of drills, such as the Brillion type or grain drills, will usually result in better stands at the same seeding rate, more controlled seeding depth and better seed distribution than broadcasting. Good results are obtained with grain drills when orchardgrass is put through the grain box and the companion legume is seeded from the small legume box. The legume seed should be allowed to drop straight to the ground to prevent covering too deep. Drag chains on the drill will cover the seed adequately. Pull a cultipacker or light roller over the field to give good seed-to-soil contact and promote more vigorous seedling growth.Orchardgrass should be planted at a rate of 10 – 20 lbs per acre. Seedings of orchardgrass can also be made with broadcast equipment such as fertilizer trucks, buggies or tractor-mounted distribution. Broadcast equipment will not throw orchardgrass seed as far as it will throw fertilizer or heavier seeds such as fescue. To help avoid uneven stands, drive the equipment close enough to overlap the previous spread pattern to ensure even seed distribution.Orchardgrass seed should be covered with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil. Spike tooth harrows or “brush type” drags make good tools for covering broadcast seed. The use of a cultipacker or lightweight roller is very important for the same reasons cited above. fertility.

Seed Ranch Red Clover Seed – 1/4 lb.

Red Clover Seed Red clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is one of the most colorful forage plants and is frequently seen along roadsides, where it is planted for highway beautification. Red clover is a reseeding winter annual with an erect growth habit and a shallow taproot system. The flowers are a brilliant red color, elongated in shape, and often more than two inches long. The leaves are dark green and covered with dense hairs. Adaptation Red clover is best adapted to the heavier, well-drained soils, performing poorly on dry, sandy, and poorly drained sites. Red clover produces more forage at low temperatures than other clovers. It is fairly tolerant of soil acidity and is often seeded in mixture with small grains and ryegrass. Red clover is also often seeded into warm-season perennial grass pastures (bermudagrass and bahiagrass) and may reseed under some management conditions. Planting Red clover seed should be planted at 20 to 26 pounds of seed per acre. Most improved crimson clover varieties are adapted to Florida conditions, but they vary in spring maturity. Seeds germinate in the fall, and plants produce very little top growth while developing a strong root system, so very little forage is available for grazing before February. Grazing should be delayed until 6-8 inches of growth accumulate. Terminate grazing when plants are 3-5 inches in height. Red Clover then grows rapidly until flowering begins about mid-April. Forage is very high quality with both leaves and stems readily consumed. Although it is generally grazed, it may be harvested as high-quality hay or silage. If trying to manage for reseeding, reduce grazing pressure for about three weeks when in full flower.
