PlottTopper Snow Mix
PlotToppers Snow mix is for areas prone to heavy snow.

The most stressful time of year for deer is winter, especially in the northern states where deep snow and temperatures below 0 are common. Native vegetation is dormant and poor quality, much is out of the reach of deer or buried under snow. There is a food plot mix that helps deer (especially rutted out buck scrambling to regain body weight lost during the rut) survive through this critical period. The mix contains 5 different Brassicas or members of the mustard/turnip family. Plant this mix in August giving it time to fully mature before November cold halts its growth. Five pounds per acre is all you need because the seed is tiny and plant crowding will occur if seeding rate is increased. Fertilize with 300 lbs/acre of 19-19-19 at planting. Deer will nibble on some of these Brassica species in the early seedling stages depending on local deer density and other available food. You don't want them to hit it very hard, the objective is to build up forage for December-March. By November freezes, the leafy Brassicas will be three feet tall and the turnips will be softball sized! The freezes will turn the starches to sugar and make the huge leaves tasty and attractive to deer. The deer seem to know it immediately and attack the plants with great vigor. Even snow cover won't impede them as they paw and dig their way through the snow to reach the wilted forage. The only question is how long it will last. The big field of five or more acres may make it through March with food to spare but a one acre plot may be totally gone by January if the deer population is high. A word of caution: if deer have never seen these plants before, they may be a little slow figuring out what they are and how good it is!

PlotTopper represents a new revolution in food plots. The reason is simple. Burying seeds to deep to germinate is the most common planting mistake! After preparing the soil top sow this mix and cutipack or drag lightly.
