RE: Midwest Food Plot Question?
Most of your Food Plot Seed companies have mixes designed to be planted this time of year. Most contain annuals like rape, turnips, red clover, crimson clover, oats, rye, winter wheat, etc. You can also contact your local AG Extension Agent to see what works best in your neck of the woods.
One of my favorite annual plots consists of Appin Forage Turnip, Bonar Forage Rape, Rangi Forage Brassica, & Pasja Hybrid Forage Brassica. They are designed to put out tons of top growth and are able to withstand grazing. Plus each of these plants matures at a different rate so that production for the food plot is extended over a longer period of time.
