Planting Rape Seed for Food Plots or Forage

Date: Best Planting For North and South USA is August - October; Can be planted in Spring in the Northern states above the "line" of West Virginia to Missouri; Planting in the Spring in the Southern and lower Northern states will shorten crop life due to summer heat. Northern planting may see a shortened crop life if hard freezes are experienced. Rape food plots will not survive summer heat or hard freezes. Note: Rape becomes more attractive to deer after a frost because the sugar content will become more concentrated.

Planting Rate: 5-10 LBS. per acre. Depth: No deeper than 1/4" Germination: Will occur when soil temperatures reach 65° - 70°
