This summer food plot blend that was researched in Argentina, home of the world’s best bird hunting, is like nothing else on the market. A high tonnage production of food plot seeds specifically formulated to attract, hold and feed dove, quail and pheasant into the fall and winter. Sunflowers and milo bring in migratory white wing and mourning dove, while quail thrive on grain producing millet and milo. Pheasants also make their home in our low tannin milo and sunflower. The combination of these 3 crops provides more cover and variety than any single monoculture. Plant early enough to allow for seeds to mature, which is typically  about 100 days. Fast growing, long lasting and works great nationwide.

Argentine sunflowers, millet and hybrid milo

UPLAND GAME BIRD MIX, our first venture away from deer management, feeds dove, quail and pheasants like nothing else on the commercial market. Originally produced for our own enjoyment and the time honored tradition of having the best Labor Day dove hunt. Upland Game Bird has become a mainstay across the country. Birds love and need seed producing plants. Our wildlife biologist and agronomist developed a mixture containing Hybrid Sunflower from Argentina, Millet from the Western US and Hybrid White Grain Milo from Texas. The Sunflowers and Milo bring in migratory white wing and morning dove while quail thrive on our grain producing millets and milo. Pheasant also make their home in our low tannin milo and sunflower. The combination of the three crops growing together provides more cover and variety than any single monoculture could ever deliver. Upland Game Bird provides nutrition, attraction and habitat for all classes of North American game birds. This mixture works throughout the country in all zones, East and West.
