Our co-op had some variety like that last year. It was the grain rye. You can tell when you open the bag there is no ryegrass seed in it. Large oats, lots of wheat, and some small rye grain seed. I want to say the bag was something like 70% wheat, 20% oats, 10% rye. We just bought it because we were short on a field and they were out of what we wanted.

It's cheaper to mix your own. It's the best because you pick what you want. another problem with mixes is small seeds. When you spread and cover clover and turnip type seeds are buried too deep. They are small, tiny and don't have enough stored energy to emerge when buried deep. The best thing to do is spread and cover large seeds, then broadcast or hand spread the small ones. the next rain will cover them. Since they are tiny you don't have to worry about birds eating them. I suggest you get a bad of Biologic maximum and throw several hand full on each plot. They produce a huge amount of forage for your deer. Good Luck

Agreed. And, if you have more than a couple of fields, you can plant them based on when you want them to be at peak attraction to some extent. In most places, brassicas are the latest "draw" (if they choose to eat) whereas most clovers really decline after early season with crimson clover being the exception. Oats are often a bigger draw early to mid-season, while rye/ triticale might edge oats out in Jan.. It can be fun to experiment and you can learn about what the deer on your property seem to prefer. As with any animal, deer like variety and a rotation does wonders for your soil as well. It's cheaper to mix your own.

It can take them a couple of years to get on brassicas. I planted maximum, Austrian winter peas, a coup0le of clovers, chicory. I planted 12 foot wide border around the perimeter of buck forage oats. having my cereal grains around the edge put them in bow range without sitting right on the edge of the plots and able to climb trees in different sides for the wind. Just remember with brassicas, they won't eat them until after the first frost. Then the sugar leaves the roots and moves to the leaves.
