Excellent for attracting deer in the daytime. Seedpods burst open when ripe. Quail and dove will consume seeds and foliage, while deer, turkey and rabbits eat the vines and leaves.Type: A cool season reseeding annual legume Uses: Hairy vetch makes an excellent addition to fall planted deer mixtures. Its spring forage production is very palatable to deer and turkeys and it makes an excellent seed crop for quail and turkey. Planting Hairy Vetch For Food PlotsPlant early spring through summer after danger of frost on well prepared seedbed. Fertilization on an annual basis will keep the forage and seed rate higher.Date: Sept. – Oct.Rate: 20 lbs./acre or ½ lb./1000 sq. ft.Depth: ½” maximumBest For: Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, and Quail Short-term, legume green manure for nitrogen fixation. Sow spring to late summer with or without grain, grass, or field peas. When sown late summer, spring regrowth is vigorous and nitrogen producing for tilling in before planting the spring garden crops. Typical nitrogen produced is 110 lbs./acre. This rapid spring growth also makes it a good weed suppressant. Hairy vetch prefers well-drained soils with a Ph of 6.0-7.0, and will do poorly in clay or wet fields. It will do well in soils too acidic for many clovers and alfalfas. May have some allopathic properties, so it is best to allow 2-3 weeks between incorporating and seeding of small-seeded crops. This selected hardy strain is widely adapted and withstands all but severe winters if sown in late summer or fall. Sow at 1 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (40 lb./acre) with rye or oats. Avg. 11,400 seeds/lb.GROWING INFORMATIONLegumesCULTURE:Sow the seeds at the time and rate specified for each variety listed. All legumes should be planted 1/4 to 1/2″ deep. FOR GREEN MANURE:For best results, till under when in the flowering stage. SEED SPECS:Planting rates are listed with the variety copy. Organic systems should plant 1/3 to 1/2 heavier to allow for some weed pressures.

In fact deer love to graze on crown vetch which has crude protein and fiber content similar to other forage legumes. The mounded type growth pattern provides good ground cover for ground nesting birds, rabbits and other small mammals as well as providing forage for deer and elk. Deer are known to paw away a winter snow layer in order to get to the crown vetch to feed. Crown Vetch will shed seeds through the summer for quail and other game birds. Crown Vetch makes an excellent food plot for Deer, Quail, Dove, Turkey, Pheasant, and Rabbit.. Crown Vetch Facts and UsesCrown Vetch is a perennial, herbaceous legume although the name implies that it is a vetch. It is slow to establish and thus is usually planted with buckwheat, creeping red fescue or annual ryegrass as companion crops to provide initial cover. When Crown Vetch establishes it will spread quickly from it’s prolific rhizomes. Well adapted to most soils in the U.S., but not adapted to the Deep South, it will provide a permanent ground cover with good erosion control. As an erosion control plant, Crown vetch is well suited for hillside or slope erosion plantings in areas where mowing is difficult or impossible. Crown vetch provides an excellent, almost maintenance-free, ground cover for soil stabilization and slope beautification. Read more about crown vetch use as erosion control plants. This creeping plant with semi-vine growth habit has nitrogen fixing capabilities for poor soils. Produces a ground cover that can grow to a height of 18-24 inches and appears to look a little like clover. It is very competitive and will crowd out most weeds. It has an extensive root system making it fairly drought tolerant and hard to eliminate from fields etc. It is also used for wildlife foraging (Deer, etc.).Crown Vetch produces attractive flowers during the seasonal blooming period. It blooms in various colors of white-pink to purple-pink color. Crown Vetch is primarily used in North Eastern areas of the USA states. Crown Vetch Is An Invasive Plant SpeciesDue to it’s aggressive and creeping type of growth, crown vetch is considered to be an invasive plant. Crown Vetch has rhizomes that can grow up to ten feet long from a single plant within one year. One crown vetch plant can cover an area of 75 to 100 feet within 3 to 4 years. Crown vetch can be a serious management threat to natural areas due to rapid vegetative spreading by creeping roots. Crown Vetch can be considered non-invasive if properly maintained by mowing, tilling or the use of herbicides to control growth areas. Flowers will appear from May to August and produce seeds that can remain dormant and viable for over fifteen years.

Medium red clover is an aggressive establisher and can be seeded alone or in mixtures with grasses, frost or dormant seeded into an existing stand.Medium red clover is a short-lived perennial used to supply nitrogen. Unlike other legumes, it fixes a lot of nitrogen even in high-nitrogen soils. It has shade tolerance so it can be overseeded into small grains and incorporated in May of the following year. Since red clover seedlings tend to be slow growing, it benefits from a nurse crop. It forms tap roots and is useful for remediation of compacted soils. Red clover is also good for weed suppression. Medium red clover prefers cool weather conditions. This crop is well-adapted a wide range of soil types and conditions. Medium red clover tolerates wet conditions better than vetch. It can be overseeded on small grains and if the soil is not crusted, it can be overseeded in vegetable crops with no additional preparation to the land. Seeding RateDrill or broadcast at 10 lb/ac.For a nurse crop, mix 2/3 annual ryegrass with 1/3 medium red clover, sow 20-25 lb/ac. After seeding, roll the ground to improve seed-to-soil contact but do not break up soil aggregates.Seeding DateFebruary–March for frost seeding.April–September.Clover can be seeded with turf grass or small grains.MaintenanceMow medium red clover during the summer of the first year. It can be seeded between established rows, reducing soil compaction in well-traveled areas.Plant 10-20 lbs. of seed per acre, no deeper than 1/4″.
