Food plots

I need some help I have a deer lease in the basin that ocasionally floods does anyone know of a seed mixture for food plots that can withstand high moisture and the occasional flood any help will be appreciated thanks

There is a clover out there that does good in wet plots, but i forgot the name of it..Started with a CH .....little research on your part could find out...Also have a aqua alfalfa thats been around for a few years...dosnt do well in completely flooded areas, but can hold its own in constantly wet places...

I plant a mix of winter oats,ebon rye,rye grass cheap and works well in buttelarose where i hunt knowing that the river comes up and down week to week and it can stand pretty good soaking if water dont stay to long fertilize!!! put lime after hunting season for following year it takes 4 months to get working into the ground good luck buddy

There is really no seed that does good in flooded areas. Your best bet would be to plant something cheap such as oats, wheat, rye. I would bot spend a fortune on fancy seeds. My place floods alot to. These seeds can usually take water for a day or 2 they they rot on you after that.

I have a buddy that plants regular ole rye grass in his lil food plot , and it floods all the time . I've seen water completely over the grass and figured it would be the end of that , but when the water goes down the rye grass is layed over but comes right back strong . My buddy also has a lil 2'X2 platform he pours corn on top of . It's about 3 ft tall , and gets pics of deer wading through the water and eating off the lil table he built for them . Swamp deer are some tough critters ...

I hunt on land that floods all the time. Food plots are not an option. There's a lot of food in the basin. My suggestion is to use salt. Try putting out a few piles with a camera nearby. You will be impressed. I buy regular ole morton salt from Walmart. Cut open the box and dump it in a small hole. The animals need minerals, and they will seek it out. Cheaper than food plots or corn.

For wet soil and areas that flood I would go with ladino clover rye grass durana clover I mix wildlife forage seed for plotspike and our wet soil mix contain white clover crimson clover and rye for spring and summer ashtenomonie aka joint vetch would be my choice good luck you can google plotspike seed and see what mixs you like
