Pennington Rackmaster Deer Greens

This blend consists of annual rape, kale, and turnip. These brassicas are selected specifically for their high palatability and nutritional value for deer.

These are cool-season crops, so they should be planted in late summer or early fall. This timing allows the plants to establish themselves before the first frost, which is when they become most attractive to deer.

Like most forage crops, these greens perform best in well-drained soil with a proper pH level. We recommend testing your soil before planting and applying fertilizer according to those results to ensure the best yield.

It is versatile enough for both. You can plant it as a standalone food plot or mix it with other forage seeds like winter wheat or oats to create a more diverse nutritional profile for your local deer population.

When the temperature drops and a hard frost occurs, the plants convert their starches into natural sugars. This process makes the forage sweeter and significantly more appealing to deer during the late fall and winter months.
