Overview
This perennial forage is designed for hunters and land managers who want a dependable planting for food plots and pasture use. It offers mineral-rich, high-protein growth through the summer and is commonly used for deer, grouse, and turkeys. A deep taproot helps it handle dry conditions well, and it is suited to well-drained to moderately drained soils. It grows to 3-4 feet and matures in 50-60 days, making it a practical option where summer forage and drought tolerance matter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Performs best in well-drained to moderately drained soils, so site selection matters more than with less selective plantings.
- The 50–60 day maturity window means it is not an instant forage option and should be planned into the planting schedule.
- At 3–4 feet tall, it can become a noticeable stand in the plot or pasture and may require management depending on the mix and use case.
- The product is positioned for both wildlife and livestock forage, but the right seeding rate and planting density still need to be followed closely for the intended result.
