Super Summer Release

Description

Got more deer than ability to produce quality forage?  I do!  This is Grant Woods and this a blend I asked Green Cover to create just for me a few years ago.  Then I shared it with a friend in South Carolina (Chris) and one in Texas (George).  Then I tweaked it and shared it with these guys again and some friends in Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas, etc.

Through the 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 now 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.  

Super Summer is intentionally designed to keep up with heavy browse pressure while still maintaining a thick cover to suppress weeds and be drought resistant. This is possible from years of planting literally dozens of different warm season species in bunches of different combinations in diverse soils. 

The result is a blend that has shown to quickly regenerate, maintaining a vibrant, healthy plot throughout the summer season.

To produce dense stands of forage that outcompetes weeds, reducing the need for chemical interventions and promoting a healthier ecosystem.

This blend is also very diverse in leaf shapes, plant height, and timing of palatability. This is key to producing forage that bounces back from heavy browse pressure and suppresses weeds.  

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 Summer Release blend into the Fall Release blend during the late 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. 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.

    Ingredients

    Mung Beans, American Joint Vetch, Soybeans, Hybrid Grain Sorghum, Sunflower, Buckwheat, Cucurbit Blend, and GreenBoost 2.0 Biology Package

    Planting Instructions

    Super Summer is best seeded using a no-till drill or other seeding device at a depth of 1/4" to 1/2" deep pending on the soil and planting conditions. In general, it's ok to place the seed deeper in loose soil (such as sandy soil) and shallower in soils that easily pack such as those with a high clay content. Super Summer can also be broadcast into areas with minimal plant competition such as a new plot or one where a seedbed has recently been prepared. Light incorporation or dragging can help with seed to soil contact but don't cover seeds with more than 1/2” of soil.

    Timing

    Super Summer should be planted during the spring when the leaves on trees are almost fully formed or more precisely when the soil temperature at 2” deep at 9:00 AM is 60 degrees or warmer. There are lots of websites that report the current soil temperature daily for each county.

    Seeding Rate

    Plant 45 pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 60 pounds per acre when broadcasting.
