Game Mix provides annual thick cover.
Game Mix is perfect for all-season food and cover for game birds and small game.
Planting Time:
May through August
Seeding Rate:
12 pounds covers 1/4 acre
Ingredients:
Foxtail Millet, Pearl Millet, Grain Sorghum, Buckwheat, Peredovic Sunflower, Korean Lespedeza, Advantage Ladino Clover
Notes on varieties:
– Foxtail Millet – fast maturing summer annual grass; low water use rate; great for wildlife
– Pearl Millet – annual grass; quick germination and rapid regrowth; drought-tolerant; can persist and yield well on less-than-ideal soils
– Grain Sorghum – will get about 4 feet tall and has a very strong stalk; the feed value of grain sorghum is similar to corn; great choice for plots where high Whitetail deer volumes prevent other grain crops from making it through the summer
– Buckwheat – fast-growing broadleaf with fibrous roots; excellent companion in a mix; great for improving soil tilth
– Peredovic Sunflower – deep-rooted broadleaf with rapid summer growth; significant rooting and biomass potential; performs well in mixes
– Korean Lespedeza – annual legume mostly used for wildlife food plots; grows well on acidic, low-fertility soils
– Advantage Ladino Clover – remains in vegetative state during whitetail deer antler growth; high crude protein content with large, succulent leaves; early vigor and hardiness; bred under grazing pressure
Some of the ingredients of Game Mix: Grain Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Foxtail Millet, and Buckwheat. The Sunflower, Lespedeza, and Ladino were present earlier in the year but had been nibbled away by the time this picture was taken.
