Peas, beans, sorghum, buckwheat, and joint vetch come together to make a protein packed wall of green that deer will absolutely destroy all summer long and into early bow season and sorghum will provide a late season food source

 

This mix of highly nutritious summer forages will grow into a nearly impenetrable wall of green up to 4 ft high that deer will feed in all summer long. 

Specially selected varieties of soybeans and peas provide high quality forage while grain sorghums give them a structure to grow on.

Planting warm season mixes like this is a great way to keep weeds out of your fall plots during summer. If you want to rotate to a cool season mix just mow or disc under in fall or leave standing for deer to use as a late season food source. Sorghum seed heads will get hit hard late season if left standing as will any residual soybean pods. Can also be crimped for no till food plotting.

This versatile mix can fill a large part of your food plot strategy and provide nutrition and attraction throughout multiple seasons. If you want an excellent summer plot to feed deer and keep weeds out of your plots put some Summer Bulk in the ground and start feeding those deer good during summer. 

Ingredients:

Forage Soybeans

Cowpeas

Grain Sorghum

Buckwheat

Joint Vetch

 

How we formulated this mix:

Tried and true summer species here. Cowpeas and soybeans provide the bulk of the nutrition and biomass while grain sorghum gives them a place to grow vertically and gives the mix height. Sorghum also has the potential to be an excellent winter food source for deer if left standing as seed heads are a sought after winter food source.

Summer protein machine

A wall of green deer can't stay out of.

This blend of high-protein summer forages grows into a nearly impenetrable wall of green up to 4 feet tall that deer feed in all summer long and into early bow season. Soybeans and cowpeas pack the nutrition; grain sorghum gives them a structure to climb.

It's also a smart way to keep weeds out of your fall plots. Mow or disc it under in fall, or leave the sorghum and bean pods standing as a late-season food source. It can even be crimped for no-till.

Built to perform

Antler and herd fuel

High-protein growth
Soybeans and cowpeas deliver the protein that grows bigger racks and healthier deer all summer.
Multi-season payoff
Standing sorghum heads and leftover bean pods become a sought-after late-season food source.
Weed control built in
A thick summer wall crowds out weeds and sets up cleaner fall plots.

Dead simple to plant

Three steps to a summer wall

1
Prep the seedbed
Disc, till, or plow — or go no-till and just rake/lightly expose the soil. Then smooth and firm it down.
2
Sow the seed
Bigger seed than our cool-season blends — plant it deeper, ½–¾". Drill or drag to cover, then cultipack.
3
Press it in
Cultipack or drive over the plot to press the seed into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact. That's all it needs.

What’s in the bag

Tried-and-true summer species

Cowpeas and soybeans carry the nutrition and biomass; grain sorghum gives them something to climb and adds height. Left standing, the sorghum heads also make an excellent winter food source.

Before you buy

Questions, answered

How much does it cover?
The grip jug (6.5 lb) covers 1/4 acre. The 25 lb bucket covers up to 1 acre.
Will deer wipe it out before fall?
In small plots heavy browsing can knock it back, so it stands up best in plots over 2 acres. Leave sorghum and bean pods standing and it keeps feeding deer into late season.
Is the seed tested?
Yes. Every batch is third-party tested for purity and germination before it’s ever shipped out, so you know exactly what you’re planting — no filler.
How fast do I get it?
Most orders ship within 1 business day (all within 3 at the latest). From there it travels UPS Ground — typically 2–4 business days in the lower 48, so most orders arrive in about a week. You’ll get tracking by email the moment it leaves our dock.
