A drought resistant cool weather forage, WinterWeed provides wildlife managers with a high protein forage option (18 to 25% protein) in the winter months. It does not need extensive soil preparation or fertilizer as some blends on the market require. WinterWeed is an alternative to many of the common winter/cold weather forages used today.

Planting can begin in late summer through the fall. Animals begin feeding when the plants are young. Wildlife and livestock alike feed off the leaves and new growth which contains the highest levels of protein. WinterWeed sprouts growth readily to sustain long-term forage options during the winter months.

An annual from the Brassica family, WinterWeed is related to cabbage, kale and turnips. It is a cool weather forage that is extremely digestible and provides a high protein food source during the winter months.

We suggest planting four to six pounds of seed per acre. WinterWeed is not very particular about the soil it is planted in and does not require large amounts of fertilizer or soil preparation. Not a blend …100% seed … no filler or inert matter.
