Plant Smarter, Hunt Better!
What type of seed blend should I choose for my food plot?
The right blend depends on your goals. For quick growth and high yield, use annuals like One Shot Brassica Mix, Blindsided Mix, Deer Brunch Spring or Fall/Winter, SW Premium Summer or Fall Mixtures. Perennial blends like Recoil Clover Mix, Forage Fever, Rack Reaper, or Last Call offer multi-year forage and require less frequent replanting. If you want a combination, annual/perennial blends provide fast results with long-term sustainability.
How much of my property should I dedicate to a food plot?
Ideally, dedicate 5% to 10% of your property to food plots for maximum impact. Smaller plots (under 2 acres) are easier to manage and highly effective at attracting and sustaining wildlife throughout the year.
How do I prepare my soil for planting? Answer:
To maximize you food plots potential you will want to test the soil, eliminate weeds, liming/raising the pH, fertilizing, proper tillage, seeding your plot, and maintaining your food plot. To learn more go to Maximizing Your Food Plots Potential.
What plants should I choose to attract deer and game birds?
For deer, soybeans, clover, and brassicas are high-protein favorites. Corn and sorghum provide both food and cover. Quail Mix is ideal for attracting and supporting game birds like quail, pheasant, and turkey.
When is the best time to plant a food plot?
The best planting time depends on the seed blend. Spring mixes like Deer Brunch Spring Mix should be planted in early spring for summer nutrition. Fall mixes such as SW Premium Fall Mix are planted in late summer to prepare deer for the hunting season.
Why is it important to do a soil test before planting?
A soil test helps determine pH and nutrient levels, ensuring your food plot gets the right amount of lime and fertilizer. This optimizes plant growth, improves seed germination, and prevents wasting time and money on underperforming plots.
How can I ensure my food plot thrives year-round? Answer:
To maintain a thriving plot year-round, plant a combination of spring, summer, fall, and winter forages. Use annuals for quick growth, perennials for long-term forage, and nutrient-rich mixes like Recoil Clover Mix and SW Premium Fall Mix to provide continuous nutrition.
What seed rate should I follow for planting?
Each mix has a recommended seeding rate for optimal growth. Always follow the suggested rate for maximum coverage and plant density. To learn more visit our Planting Guidelines Page.
What type of wildlife can I attract with Seedway’s Wildlife Genetics™ blends?
Our seed blends attract a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, turkey, quail, pheasant, rabbit, and waterfowl. Game Food Sorghum and Quail Mix are particularly suited for game birds, while soybeans, clover, and corn draw and sustain deer populations.
What’s the best way to protect and maintain my food plot?
After planting, monitor your plot regularly for weeds and overgrazing. Fertilize annually for consistent growth and consider planting Blindsided Mix to create natural barriers that protect the plot and provide security for wildlife.
