Turnip Forage & Pasture Seed
Hancock Seed provides a selection of pea seed as part of our comprehensive legume seed inventory. Winter peas are a highly attractive protein source for wildlife during the winter season, especially for hungry turkeys. Our varieties of seeds for peas are prioritized for strong stands and consistency, similar to our alfalfa seed offerings. Varieties like the Austrian Winter Pea serve as effective pasture pea seed for livestock grazing, much like our aeschynomene seed supports deer plots. Customers looking for palatable field pea seeds may also be interested in our long lived birdsfoot trefoil seed. The Frost Master is a forage pea that produces good tonnage of palatable forage, while our carpon desmodium seed is a grazing tolerant pasture option. Our selection includes cover crop peas like the Whistler variety for banking nitrogen for future crops, while chufa seed develops tasty underground tubers. These legumes perform nitrogen fixation by taking nitrogen from the air and converting it into a form usable by plants. We offer bulk pea seed through our eQuote system to provide customers with the best rates possible for large projects. Hancock grows or acquires seed from fellow farmers to ensure you always receive a fresh product. Our seeds are tested for germination and adaptability to various growing conditions to deliver quality results. Iron Clay Cowpeas are summer annual legumes that provide high protein forage for deer, promote antler growth, and effectively enrich soils. This versatile genus is part of our commitment to preserving the rural lifestyle we love.
