Brassicas are a very critical part of a fall food plot system. We recommend planting brassicas in 50% of your food plot along with a diverse cereal grain mix like Autumn Ambush.
Full Season Brassica is a very diverse mix designed to provide tons of forage throughout hunting season. It contains Forage Radish, 3 types of turnips, Winifred Brassica, Kale, and Forage Collards.
The radishes provide numerous soil benefits and will get attention early in the season. Our turnip varieties provide plenty of protein making it a solid attraction as the season progresses. Deer will eat the tops and then return as winter approaches concentrating on the bulbs. Food sources will be dwindling in the northern parts of the whitetails range and the bulbs provide energy rich carbohydrates that deer crave as they ready their bodies for winter.
Kale is extremely high in protein (up to 25%) and studies have shown that it can produce up to 10 tons per acre of leafy forage in standalone plots. Forage collards are extremely palatable and winter hardy proving valuable as colder temperatures become the norm in November and December. Winifred Brassica is a hybrid cross between Kale and turnips. It is also palatable and offers regrowth potential after grazing helping to ensure plenty of forage for deer all season long.
Planting rate is 3 pounds for a half-acre and 6 pounds for 1 acre.
