Sunn Hemp Seed transforms poor soils into productive ground while attracting wildlife with its impressive 30% protein content. This fast-growing tropical legume reaches 5-6 feet in just 60 days, making it invaluable for deer food plots where hunters report deer bypassing other crops to reach it. The plant works underground too, fixing over 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre while adding massive amounts of organic matter that future crops will appreciate. Farmers and land managers choose this annual legume for its ability to build soil health rapidly while providing wildlife with high-quality nutrition.

Wildlife managers and soil health enthusiasts will find this legume particularly valuable for its dual-purpose benefits. The plant exhibits unique growth patterns, spending its first 30 days developing an extensive root system before rapid above-ground growth begins. This root development contributes to its soil-building capabilities and ability to break up compacted soils. Cover seed half to one inch deep for optimal germination, and plant between May 15 to July 10 for best results. Remember that this non-invasive annual provides weight gain benefits for cattle during hot summer months when other forages struggle.
