Ten proven forage ingredients, annuals and perennials working together, and a reputation built right here in the Ozarks — Deer Plot Seed Mix is the kind of food plot seed mix that gives deer a reason to linger. It’s loaded with high-protein attractants like clover, chicory, alfalfa, and turnips, making it a natural fit for hunters looking for a deer clover food plot mix that does more than just fill a field. Designed for extra forage production and healthy antler growth, this is a deer plot seed mix that earns its place in the ground season after season.
Key Features of Deer Plot Seed Mix
Additional Information
Known around here as the mix Missouri conservation agents brag on, Deer Plot Seed Mix was built with one goal in mind — keep deer on your property longer and give them the nutrition they need to grow. Every ingredient in this food plot seed mix was chosen on purpose, dialed in for fast growth, high protein, and the kind of palatability that has deer coming back night after night.

The cool-season backbone of this mix is built around Cold Grazer Rye, Forage Oats, and Austrian Winter Peas — three ingredients that establish fast, keep producing in cold temps, and have deer and wild turkey hitting the plot hard from first frost. The legume lineup adds serious nutritional weight: Alfalfa and Jumbo Ladino Clover are perennial performers that pull calcium and potassium from the soil and convert it into the kind of high-protein forage that supports healthy antler development season after season.
Then there’s the root crew — Purple Top Turnips, Rape Brassica, and Forage Radishes. These are the ingredients that make deer work the ground, staying in your plot longer and returning more often. Radishes break up soil compaction with deep taproots and pull up trace minerals while they’re at it. Crimson Clover and Chicory round out the mix with color, palatability, and perennial staying power that keeps the plot productive well past the first season.
That’s not just marketing language — it’s what a well-balanced deer clover food plot mix looks like when every ingredient is chosen on purpose, formulated for high intake of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, and high total digestible nutrients.
Get a good seedbed worked up, keep weeds knocked back early, and let this mix do what it was designed to do — give deer more reasons to stay.

Pairing Recommendations
Summer Giant (summer legume powerhouse) first (post-frost, May+), then transition to Buck Salad (brassicas for fall/winter) in adjacent plots for continuous draw—summer protein to late-season forage.
Bullseye or Deer Plot Mix (fall/winter annual/perennial blends with grains/peas/brassicas) alongside Buck Salad for diversity; plant half cereals/grains and half brassicas per plot to spread usage and boost volume.
Rotate annually: Year 1 Summer Giant → Buck Salad; Year 2 Bullseye → Deer Plot Mix to prevent soil depletion and maintain appeal.
