If you're looking for a fantastic early season forage solution for your deer plot, look no further than our exclusive PlotSpike Forage Oats Food Plot Seed. This chemical- and filler-free blend is for southern climates, but does offer some cold resistance compared to other common forage varieties. University trials have shown that it's capable of producing over 10,000 lbs./acre. Forage Oats can be planted in August and September, for grazing during bow season. Once plants emerge, they also respond very well to high-nitrogen fertilizers like ammonium nitrate (34-0-0). Southern food plots will last all winter, but oat food plots north of Tennessee or at high elevations will most likely freeze out. Apply at least 300 lbs. of 13-13-13 or equivalent at planting.
