Broadcast on tilled soil and incorporate this premium mix to feed deer from late-August through Spring. Green soybeans attract deer first when other soybeans in your area are browning down and being harvested, fresh green soybeans are highly attractive to deer in late-Summer and early-Fall until frost, the buckwheat and sunflowers are eaten down to the stem right through the first few frosts, then the winter peas, dwarf essex and kale become attractive and increase in size. At peak rut and into early winter the greens are highly attractive to does and fawns, keeping roaming bucks thinking about your property. After season, deer dig in the snow for these greens right through until Spring thaw. In Spring, the brassicas continue and will flower into summer. The winter peas very often overwinter and provide summer forage and infuse nitrogen back into the soil as they flower and produce edible pea pods for deer. Adding a couple pounds per acre of winter triticale into the mix can also provide additional deer and turkey forage into the mid-summer months. Terminate the plot in late-July by tilling, in August broadcast the mix again on fresh soil and incorporate to start the cycle all over again.

When to plant – first week of August in the north and a week later in the transition zone; rainfall effects performance, but the mix of seed types nearly always provides performance.
