Seedranch Spring/Summer Mix

SeedRanch Spring Summer Deluxe Deer Mixture is specially formulated with premium forages and grains to meet the high energy and protein demands of deer during the spring, summer, and early fall seasons. This nutrient-rich blend helps support antler growth, body development, and milk production for nursing does while promoting the overall health of the deer herd.

This premium seed mix includes soybeans, iron clay peas, buckwheat, sunflower, and sorghum — all selected for their ability to provide the protein and energy deer need during critical growth periods. Each ingredient is carefully balanced in precise proportions to prevent aggressive plants from overtaking the blend, ensuring a consistent, nutrient-dense food source throughout the growing season.

SeedRanch Spring Summer Deluxe Deer Mixture is also an excellent choice for late-summer planting, producing a fast-establishing and rapidly growing food plot ideal for attracting wildlife ahead of early-season hunting before frost conditions arrive.

Enhanced with advanced seed germination technology, this blend promotes faster emergence along with stronger, deeper root systems. The result is a tougher, more productive food plot designed to attract and hold wildlife in the area for longer periods.
