Overview
Designed for hunters building a food plot that can support deer through multiple seasons, this perennial forage mix combines sainfoin, Persist forb, selected grazing alfalfa, and WINA-100 forage chicory. It is intended for medium to heavy, moderately well-drained soils with an optimum soil pH of 6.5 to 7.5. The mix is described as offering heat, drought, and winter hardiness, with up to 44% protein and the potential to last up to five years with proper management.
