While the university
had seen the variety’s exceptional attractiveness to
deer as a negative to grain production, the
Whitetail Institute was obviously intrigued and
spent the next six years testing it as a deer forage
under real-world conditions at its certified
research stations across North America. Those tests
not only proved the variety’s extreme attractiveness
to deer because of its high sugar content but also
led to the discovery that the variety is
winter-hardy, another excellent trait for a
deer-forage planting. As a result, the Institute
appropriately named the variety “Whitetail Oats”.
Small amounts of winter wheat and triticale are also
included in FORAGE OATS PLUS to enhance
winter-hardiness even further.
FORAGE OATS PLUS is
designed to thrive in a wide range of soil types,
from slightly sandy to heavy bottomland. Loamy to
heavy soils are best. One 45-pound bag of FORAGE
OATS PLUS will plant up to ½ acre.
If you’ve been
looking for a Fall/Winter forage that is that is
easy to plant, establishes very quickly, begins
drawing deer right away and holds them on your
property longer into the cold winter months, FORAGE
OATS PLUS is what you’ve been waiting for. |
