Green Cover’s Summer Release warm-season annual blend has been a reliable choice for years, consistently yielding high-quality forage when planted and managed appropriately. This blend features a variety of annual forage species, including legumes, forbs, and grains. Thanks to years of experience and valuable user feedback, we've fine-tuned the blend for 2025, making it the most effective summer forage crop to date! Below, you’ll find specific planting instructions and guidelines. This is not just another product adorned with flashy graphics; it's a proven summer forage blend that thrives across much of the whitetail deer’s habitat. Some species in this blend are preferred by deer as soon as they germinate, while others take a bit longer to attract them. This “timed-release” approach, which combines different forage species, significantly enhances the production of quality forage, attracts deer more effectively, and helps suppress weeds compared to planting a single species. This product is pre-inoculated with the Green Boost 2.0 Biology Package, so you can reduce your fertilizer usage. Green Boost 2.0 includes: MycoGreen NPK is a dual inoculant containing ten functionally diverse mycorrhizal fungi and eight bacterial species. Elevate'd Fungi is a seed applied inoculant derived from natural products designed to stimulate seed germination, increase root and biological biomass in the soil, and improve soil structure. RhizoBac X-Tend features high concentrations of multi-species nitrogen fixing rhizobia for peas, vetch, cowpeas, sunn hemp and soybeans. Additionally, free living nitrogen fixing and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria combine for a robust broad spectrum seed treatment for your cover crops. Healthier and more vigorous plants will lead to healthier animals and bigger antlers! Green Cover was not able to source all these seeds from organic certified production. All seeds are non-GMO and non-treated.

Got more deer than ability to produce quality forage? I do! I am Grant Woods and this is a blend I crafted in collaboration with Green Cover Seed. This blend was field-tested in South Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas, and more. Through years of observations at my place (The Proving Grounds) and at several of my friends’ properties throughout much of the whitetail’s range, the blend is the best warm season food plot crop I’ve planted or seen during my 34 years as a professional wildlife biologist and I’m happy to make it available to you. Superior Forage Production: This blend is intentionally designed to keep up with heavy browse pressure while still maintaining a thick cover to suppress weeds and be drought resistant. Years of experimenting with dozens of warm-season species in different combinations in diverse soils led to a mix that's resilient and productive.

Weed Suppression: Produces dense stands of forage that outcompetes weeds, reducing the need for chemical interventions and promoting a healthier ecosystem for your deer.

Because of the species diversity and how the plants interact in this blend, it’s suitable for a wide range of soil types and conditions.
