"Pheasant Country" - Tall Grass/Wildflower Mix |
||
This is an attracting blend of tall prairie grasses
with a heavy dose of wildflowers (forbs), predominately nitrogen
producing legumes, which will attract and host a large population
of insects. With more insects, there are more pheasant chicks. It’s
that simple, because baby chicks only diet their first 4-6 weeks
of life is…insects, of course. |

splash of wildflowers (forbs) generates tons of insects to assure

hundred dollars per acre! |

"Farmer's Choice" - Introduced Species
Mix Illinois CP 1-02 4 Grasses / #2221 |
||
Features three cool season grasses that have been
the farmer’s choice almost forever--offering great species diversity.
One is an extremely early bunch grass, the second a medium maturity
sod former and the third is a late maturing grass. They’re combined
with your choice of an early flowering legume (alfalfa) and a late
flowering legume (red clover) to bring in the insects by the droves
for the chicks. You cannot go wrong with either the modern, disease
resistant alfalfa or the red clover legumes available in Farmers
Choice. They’re two of the most popular, time-tested legumes ever
-- chosen by farmers over 90% of the time for their hay fields. Order
“Farmers Choice” to get a no-worry, can’t go wrong field like most
farmers are using right beside your field — without paying $6 per
pound to get them! |

"Bird Feed Factory" - Introduced Species
Mix Illinois CP 1-05 4 Grasses / #2226 |
||
This mix is specifically designed for the southern
2/3 of Illinois where the annual legume, Korean Lespedeza, blooms
profusely in the summer (a baby chick’s dreamland) and produces tons
of grain just in time to fatten up the birds for hunting season.
With these characteristics it supports a huge population of birds
-- so most will escape the hunters’ guns and be real fat going into
the winter, ready to be population multipliers next season. |

cover, grazing and fresh tender nesting material. Warm season short

level that is so critical for the baby checks to maneuver around
in. This mix will hold up the snow to provide a warm haven for shelter.
Includes a wildflower (forb) combination that is tall and short,
legumes and non-legumes. They’re easy establishers that will draw
in tasty insects not only for the baby chicks but for hens as well. |
