Plant Last Minute-Crops
- Brassicas – Turnips, mustard, and kale grow quickly during the cooler weather and will thrive when deer are short of food in the winter. They are also attractive to deer because of their high glucose content.
- Buck Forage Oats – Deer love oats because they are high in carbohydrates. They grow quickly but stay small longer, attracting deer when other grains are too tough to eat. Oats make a great food plot seed.
- Winter Peas – This crop is easy to grow, and if you plant them early enough, they can reach significant heights and produce a great deal of attractive vegetation. They are not as susceptible to weeds and deer love them.
