Hancock's Deer Greens Mix is an economical mixture of brassicas, or greens, that are proven to do well throughout the United States. Hancock's Deer Greens Mix is one of the best choices for late fall and winter forage, when freezing temperatures raise the sugar content of the leaf and increases its attractiveness for deer.

- Germination Time: 7 - 14 days, under optimal conditions
- Growing Locations: Warm Season, Transition Zone, Cool Season
- Height: 1 - 2 feet
- Sunlight Requirements: 6+ hours, full sun for best results
- Advantages: Freezing temperatures elevate the sugar content in the leaves of this blend of brassicas, bringing the bucks from all over.
- When to Plant: Recommended planting time is spring, fall and winter when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees.
High in protein and highly digestible, Hancock's Deer Greens Mixture is a great forage crop at a time when little else is available for deer to eat.

Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a disc. Drag area to loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if necessary. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 250 lbs. per acre. Fertilize three times a year for best results.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag or roll lightly to cover the seed no more than 1/4 in. below surface. If you are overseeding an existing area, it is pertinent to mow existing grass low and incorporate seed 1/4 in. into soil for best results. Apply irrigation for approximately 30 minutes each evening until soil is damp, and germination has occurred. Irrigate newly-seeded areas every other day until the sprout reaches 6 in., then water recommended three times a week if needed.
For best results, please review our Planting Guide and the specific product description before planting. Each product has recommended planting methods, timing, and seeding rates that are important for successful establishment. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal performance and stand success.
