A go-to warm-season food plot seed for hunters across the Ozarks, Summer Giant Deer Plot Seed Mix is a legume-rich blend of seven plants built to deliver the protein and nutrition deer need during critical summer growing months. Soybeans, cowpeas, sunn hemp, buckwheat, sunflower, millet, and okra work together to keep forage available from early summer into late season. It’s a custom blend from Nixa Hardware & Seed Co that comes pre-inoculated and ready to go straight into a prepared seedbed — no extra prep on your end.
Key Features of Summer Giant Deer Plot Seed Mix
Additional Information
Summer is when a lot of food plots come up short — spring green-up is fading and fall plots aren’t in the ground yet. That’s the window Summer Giant was designed to fill. Each variety in the mix brings something to the table: legumes add protein and fix nitrogen, sunflowers carry the plot into late season, and okra stays green and productive even when heat and dry weather set in.
Because we custom blend Summer Giant ourselves, we pre-inoculate the seed varieties that benefit from it before the bag ever leaves our hands. That’s one less thing you have to source, mix, or apply — just open the bag and plant. It’s the kind of detail that comes from decades in the seed business, and it’s built into every bag so you don’t have to think about it.
With 7 different species in the mix, varied maturation rates keep fresh forage available throughout the summer months — so deer have a reason to keep coming back to the plot as the season moves. We’ve seen Summer Giant Deer Plot Seed Mix draw deer consistently and hold up to browsing pressure season after season when planted at the recommended one-bag-per-acre rate.
For best results, clear weeds and loosen the soil before planting, stay patient until after your last frost date around May 15, and the mix takes it from there. Whether you’re building a dedicated summer food plot or bridging the gap between spring green-up and your fall plantings, it’s a proven plan you can count on.

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.
