Northern Zone:
To give your plants the best chance of success, plant with adequate soil
moisture, typically early spring and fall planting will be the most successful.
You can frost seed or plant in the spring when daytime high temps start to reach
63-65 degrees. Fall plantings should be planted prior to the onset of autumn
rains. A good rule of thumb is to make sure your food plots are planted at least
30-45 days prior to the first frost. Clover Plus, Premium Perennial and Maximum
are excellent choices for planting in the Northern Zone. Waterfowl Forage
should be planted in the Spring/Early Summer to leave sufficient time to reach
maturity before the first frost.

Transitional Zone:
For the Transitional Zone, optimum planting time for Clover Plus and Premium
Perennial is early fall. This allows the plants to establish a better root
system to survive summer heat. However, both will do very well during an early
spring planting, typically 30-40 days prior to the last frost in your area.
These varieties provide long-term nutrition for the wildlife on your property.
Excellent stands of Maximum can be established with early spring plantings or
early fall plantings. Maximum is an excellent choice for over-seeding existing
stands of Clover Plus and Premium Perennial. Green Patch Plus and Full Draw
exhibit optimum results when planted during early fall. BioMass and Waterfowl
Forage should be planted when soybeans are planted locally.

Southern Zone:
For the Southern Zone, Clover Plus and Premium Perennial should ideally be
planted during early fall. These varieties can be planted in early spring but
should be avoided for late spring plantings due to limited root growth before
hot, dry conditions. Maximum is excellent for over-seeding into existing Clover
Plus and Premium Perennial plots in early fall or for stand-alone plots in the
early fall. BioMass is the product of choice for late spring and early summer
plantings in the Southern Zone. Waterfowl Forage should only be planted in the
late spring or early summer in this zone. Our central and southern Texas
customers have great results planting Premium Perennial in the fall. It provides
excellent fall, spring and early summer growth, but should be replanted the
following fall.
