Summer Release
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.

Brassica Plus Release
The Brassica Plus Release blend is a forage mix tailored for peak deer attraction and nutrition from autumn to spring. This blend excels when compared to traditional brassica plots by integrating not only brassicas but also a selection of resilient, cold-tolerant clovers. This combination ensures: Peak Attraction: Deer are drawn to this mix with its early fall allure of fresh, tender brassicas and clovers. Winter Nutrition: The brassica bulbs act as a powerhouse of nutrition, sustaining deer through the harsh winter months when food sources are scarce, even if there’s snow on the ground. Extended Forage: In areas with milder winters, the clovers in our blend experience a resurgence, offering a second wave of high-protein forage into late winter and early spring. Turkey Attraction: With this blend, your plot becomes a turkey hunting location also as turkeys area attracted to the flush of clovers during the spring. 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.

Super Summer Release
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. Regenerates Quickly: Thanks to its unique formulation, Super Summer quickly regenerates, maintaining a vibrant, healthy plot throughout the summer season. Weed Suppression: Produces dense stands of forage that outcompetes weeds, reducing the need for herbicides and promoting a healthier ecosystem for your deer. Diverse & Palatable: Includes a variety of leaf shapes, plant heights, and timing of palatability. 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. Pro Tip: To attract and feed deer throughout the year, drill or broadcast the Super Summer Release blend during the late spring followed by the Super Fall Release blend in late summer. 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.

Super Fall Release
Are deer hammering your fall food plots? This souped up mix is specially designed to handle heavy browse pressure. Even in tough conditions the Super Fall Release blend will feed deer and keep the soil covered. This blend should overwinter nicely to help with weed control before a summer crop is planted. Pro Tip: To attract and feed deer throughout the year, drill or broadcast the Super Fall blend 6-8 weeks before your average frost date in the fall. 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.

Traditional monoculture food plots are a thing of the past
We partnered with Grant Woods, well-known wildlife biologist with Growing Deer.tv, to bring you the best possible seed blends for growing healthy deer and improving the productivity of your land.
With a deep understanding of how to steward the land and the animals living on it (and under it!), Grant developed the Release Process.
How the Release Process works
When you plant a diverse mix of species they have different growth patterns, certain species will sprout up right away, others will wait a few more days, and still others are the slow ones bringing up the rear. Because of this you will have different species in various points of their life cycle throughout the growing season.
For example, when buckwheat is starting to make a seed, it is less palatable to deer, but sorghum and millet will be in their prime for browsing. Different nutrients are being released at different times to provide high quality nutrition through the entire growth period.
Planting a diverse mix is a slow release—think tire air pressure going down slowly from a small nail hole, whereas planting a single species is like popping a balloon.
The Release Process under the soil
Not only does the release process provide nutrition for your wildlife above ground, but it also keeps the worms and microbes below ground fed. Different plants form relationships with different soil microbes. Through these relationships, plants can access different nutrients in the soil. The microbes in your soil slowly release these nutrients so plants can access them all throughout the growing season.
These underground herds need food too. Soil scientists have estimated that one tablespoon of soil has over 7 billion little microbes. That’s a lot of mouths to feed! Make sure you get them fed with the proper inoculant.
Feed your soil biology.
All of our food plot mixes are pre-inoculated with our GreenBoost package, ensuring all tiny organisms have a balanced diet. Healthy deer come from healthy plants, and healthy plants come from healthy soil.
