Mix of millet and sorghum that will create a magnet for ducks, geese, and other waterfowl. Can be planted in impoundments or around ponds to create a duck hole like no other
Want to create opportunities for duck hunting on your property?
It’s easier than you might think.
Impoundments are nothing more than a shallow wet season pond that can be drained during the summer. This mix is designed to be planted in or around duck impoundments and ponds and can be flooded to provide a magnet for waterfowl.
The grains in this mix have been selected to hang around late into the year without breaking down to ensure you still have plenty of food by duck season. A flooded field of this mix provides excellent habitat for waterfowl. Puddle ducks like mallards, black ducks, and wood ducks are especially fond of this mix.
Ingredients:
2 Millets
Grain Sorghum
Buckwheat
How we formulated this mix:
The specific millet and sorghum included here has excellent traits for waterfowl plantings specifically. All 3 hold on the stalk well and do not deteriorate quickly in wet conditions, a must when planting for waterfowl. Many other grains fall too quickly and rot before waterfowl season begins in most states. Buckwheat helps provide both grain and some forage potential to make this mix more appealing to a wide range of waterfowl species. Wild rice was omitted in favor of sorghum and millet as both are easier and more reliable to grow especially for those new to planting.
WHERE TO PLANT: Best in full sun. Stands up well to flooding. Great for low areas that flood seasonally or man-made waterfowl impoundments.
