Winter Rye Food Plot Seed

Winter rye seed, also called cereal rye, works incredibly well as a food plot. Expect quick germination and rapid growth in the fall, greenery throughout the winter months, and vigorous growth in the spring. Winter rye seed will remain productive later in the fall and earlier in the spring than any other food plot seed. This makes it an excellent attractant for deer and turkeys, providing nutritious forage throughout the colder months.Benefits Quick Germination: Rapid germination and growth in the fall ensure early establishment. Extended Productivity: Remains productive later in the fall and earlier in the spring compared to other food plot seeds. Winter Resilience: Provides greenery throughout the winter months and very quick spring growth. Attracts Wildlife: Highly attractive to deer and turkeys, especially in the spring. Weed Suppression: Highly effective at suppressing weeds, maintaining clean food plots. Nutrient Management: Ties up nitrogen close to the soil’s surface, enhancing soil fertility and structure. Cold Tolerance: Will germinate in soils as cold as 35°F, extending the planting season. Low Fertility Needs: Works well in low pH soils with little fertility but responds well to nitrogen applications. Planting Instructions Seeding Rate: Seed at 80-120 lbs/acre when planted alone, and 20-90 lbs/acre when used in mixes. Seeding Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 1/2-2 inches. Planting Range: Late summer to fall for optimal establishment. Winter rye is a reliable and versatile addition to any food plot, offering exceptional weed suppression, nutrient management, and cold tolerance. Its adaptability and productivity make it a preferred choice for creating successful and sustainable food plots for deer hunting. Winter rye from Elk Mound Seed ensures your food plots remain productive and attractive throughout the hunting season and into the spring, providing valuable forage for both deer and turkeys.

Buckwheat Food Plot Seed

Buckwheat is a versatile and quick-maturing broadleaf that is highly effective for food plots. Known for its weed suppression and soil benefits, buckwheat provides rapid growth and can be utilized to improve soil fertility. It is also a great attractant for deer and other wildlife, making it an excellent choice for food plots.Benefits Weed Suppression: Aggressiveness in early growth provides excellent weed suppression. Soil Improvement: Efficient at scavenging phosphorus from the soil, enhancing soil fertility. Quick Growth: Rapid maturation ensures quick establishment and productivity. Wildlife Attraction: Highly attractive to deer and other wildlife, providing nutritious forage. Pollinator Friendly: Preferred by beekeepers for its long flowering period, producing distinctive honey. Characteristics Type: Cool season broadleaf. C:N Ratio: 30:1, contributing to efficient nutrient cycling. Longevity: Annual. Planting Instructions Seeding Rate: Seed at 50-75 lbs/acre when planted alone, and 5-35 lbs/acre when used in mixes. Seeding Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 3/4 inch. Planting Range: Late spring, summer, to early fall for optimal establishment. Buckwheat from Elk Mound Seed is an excellent choice for food plots, offering rapid growth, effective weed suppression, and soil benefits. Its attractiveness to deer and other wildlife, along with its benefits for soil health, make it a valuable addition to any food plot strategy.

Spring Wheat Seed - 5 lb

Fully mature by mid-late summer Non-GMO seed Planting Depth: 1-2" Plating Range: April

Spring Triticale Seed

A close relative of wheat that results from pollinating Duram Wheat with rye pollen The resulting grain is then used in a breeding program to produce stable self-replicating triticale The basic objective in creating this cross is to capture the best traits of rye and wheat Triticale can be grown to produce grain or silage Grazing and cover crop options can also be good choices Potential exists to increase yields in other crops when added to rotation Look for reduced costs and risk management of weather too!

Winter Triticale - Gainer 154

Gainer 154 is a high-yielding early variety. Gainer 154 is an all around strong triticale variety that excels in both forage and cover crop applications. Fertility: Nitrogen & Sulfur– The plant will use 50lbs of Nitrogen and 10 units of sulfur per ton of dry matter to make 16% protein. For example, high yielding (4 tons of dry matter per acre.) triticale will uptake 200 units of Nitrogen and 40 units of Sulfur. Apply up to 50 units of Nitrogen at planting, followed by 100 plus units of Nitrogen at green up. Manure and legume credits can be applied but spring release of Nitrogen and Sulfur is every limited during cool weather. Follow soil test guidelines for other nutrients. Harvest Management: Wide-swath for best drying and ensile at 65%-70% moisture. The “haylage in a day” model is recommended for best fermentation and sugar preservation. For best results, cut prior to boot stage. Triticale’s window of harvest is wider than most other small grains, so it maintains quality longer. Always test for nitrates before feeding.
