Outsidepride Sweet Spot Deer Food Plot Seed - Southern Mix (10 LB)
Sweet Spot - Southern Blend - If you want to create high-nutrition food plot that deer simply cannot resist than look no further than Sweet Spot deer food plot seed. Sweet Spot mixes feature High Sugar Grasses from the product line SucraSeed. These unique perennial ryegrasses, with their high quality sugar, can produce bigger racks and as much as 20% more body mass. Sweet Spot is a perennial wildlife food plot mix that rapidly establishes, winters well and creates resilient food plots year after year.
Sweet Spot is different from other food plot mixes since it focuses on a deer's complex digestive system, which can't process proteins without sugar (carbohydrates). If you just pack a food plot mix with protein, but do not include the necessary sugars to digest that protein, deer will not have the necessary nutrition to process that protein and grow. Sweet Spot blends both carbohydrates and protein calories so deer get the optimum nutrition they need to pack on lean body mass.

Mowing Information:
You typically do not want to cut a food plot below a 4 - 6 inch height or you risk setting the plants back too much as it will take much longer to recover. This is typical, but it can be regional, climate driven and also personal preference. For quickest regrowth in a food plot setting, don’t cut more than 50% of the height for fastest regrowth.
