Premium Warm-Season Food Plot & Cover Crop Seed

Seed Ranch Sunn Hemp Seed is a fast-growing warm-season annual legume specifically designed for food plots, soil improvement, livestock forage, and regenerative agriculture applications. Known for its explosive growth and exceptional nitrogen-fixing capabilities, Sunn Hemp can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet in a single growing season while producing high-protein forage highly attractive to deer and livestock.

This versatile crop is widely used by hunters, ranchers, farmers, and land managers looking to improve soil health, increase organic matter, suppress weeds, reduce erosion, and provide a high-quality source of nutrition during the summer growing season. Sunn Hemp performs exceptionally well as a standalone planting or blended with cowpeas, soybeans, lablab, sorghum, or other summer annuals.

Its rapid establishment and aggressive growth make it ideal for heavily browsed food plots where maintaining forage pressure can be difficult. In addition to wildlife benefits, Sunn Hemp is one of the best natural soil builders available, helping add significant amounts of organic biomass and atmospheric nitrogen back into the soil for future crops.
