Summer Feast
A high energy summer grazing, cover crop, or wildlife food plot mixture. Millet balances out the rich brassica with effective fiber, which slows rate of passage through the rumen. The two species provide a multi-level and more diverse warm weather forage, and the different growing habits complement each other well. Both species can uptake and use nitrogen quite well. This mix can be a good way to renovate a pasture. As with a straight stand of millet, there is no threat of prussic acid.

Can be drilled shallow OR broadcasted and incorporated. Keep shallow and calibrate for best success. Plant into moisture due to seed size.
