Hi Frank,
Sounds like you want to see these when it’s still cold. I would plant some purple top turnips.
these are attractive in the fall bow season, but really get hammered when it gets real cold and when there is snow on the ground.

There are several companies that will send you samples for food plots. I found a company that sent me 8 varieties of what the sale. The samples make a 10×10 plot (each.) This season I will be experimenting with a new company to see what works best in my area. The things people don’t think about are the hardiness of what they grow. In the southern state temperatures Can stay in the 90’s and drop into the 60’s overnight (if not lower). Second thing to consider is the amount of rain these plots need (15-30inches) annually, finding a seed that fits into your region’s annual rain fall will be important. Third factor is how much sun exposure the plots need, it just like plants in your wife’s flower bed food plots need/ take only so much sunlight per day. Over exposure is just as bad as not enough exposure. If you are serious about building quality food plots you need to take all of this into consideration, and always research the companies you are purchasing from need to find a reputable company that has done the research and has proven antler growth. The right nutrition formula will make deer add your plot to their runs.
