We have built this tool to help you select from some of the most commonly used "cool season" food plot plants.

LIST OF COOL SEASON PLANTS USED IN THIS TOOL

Annual Legumes: Subterranean Clover Hairy vetch Crimson Clover Arrowleaf Clover Berseem Clover Australian Winter Peas	Perennial Legumes: Alsike Clover White dutch Clover Ladino White Clover Birdsfoot trefoil Alfalfa	Biennial Legumes: Sweet Clover Red Clover
Brassicas: Rape Turnip Kale	Grass: Annual Ryegrass	Small Grains: Wheat Rye Oats

Please note the following BEFORE selecting:

1. This is a COOL SEASON Plant Tool which includes the above listed plants. We will be developing a summer season tool.

2.  We consider “TILL” to be seeds that need to be planted between 1-3 inches deep. Of the cool season planted crops only the Australian Winter Pea is considered to be a TILL choice for the purposes of this tool. The others are seeded less than 1 inch deep.

That is not to say you can't "till" clover seeds, or drill them in. Most of these are commonly seeded and drag or rolled in because they don't need to be set too deep in the soil. So Please Select No/Low Till for plants in list other than AWP.

In STEP 1: you select between low till/no till or till

In STEP 2: you choose between different pH levels in your soil

In STEP 3: you choose between well drained and moist soils

In STEP 4: you choose between annuals and perennials

Based on your selections, the tool progressively narrows your selection down to include all the traits you have selected.

We sure how you find this tool helpful in your food plot plant selection. As always comments are welcome.
