This annual and perennial mix is a good early summer planting to give the deer everything they need with the clovers, rye, and wheat with rapeseed and turnips. This mixture provides a tonnage of food to last into the fall. The perennial clover will return for the turkey season. Maintain clover with mowing as needed and fertilize 10-20-30. If you decide to thicken up clovers for spring, mow down late fall and over seed with chick clover to grow a beautiful new clover plot that will last 5 years or more.
Big Buck Adventures recommends doing a soil test before planting food plot.
