The big three. What makes a successful food plot crop? Certain characteristics will always vary depending on region, critter and time of year, but here's a basic rule of thumb: Forage must be palatable (so deer keep coming back), produce ample tonnage (so they can eat all they want), and be digestible (so it does their bodies good).

Premium Perennial A BLEND THAT LASTS AS LONG AS THE DEER.

Premium Perennial will perform best when planted in a firm, well-prepared seedbed. This blend can be easily planted by using a drill, or you can machine or hand-broadcast the seed. The seed shouldn’t be planted deeper than 1/4 inch. The use of a cultipacker is an excellent method for covering the seed. For best results, apply lime and fertilizer as recommended by a soil test. If a soil test isn’t possible, apply a ton of lime and 300 lbs. of 13-13-13 fertilizer per acre, or simply use BioLogic pHFERTILIZER. |

In the south, plant Premium Perennial in early fall, as soon as soil moisture is sufficient for seed germination. Spring planting isn’t recommended; frequent summer drought conditions could limit root growth.
In the north, plant Premium Perennial in the spring when soil temperature is 50° or higher and soil moisture is sufficient. Fall planting isn’t recommended; frost may occur before root systems are established. This blend can also be frost-seeded in the spring. |
