Planting

Couple of items planted or to be planted. Source is the Tecomate Wildlife Systems and various Pennington websites. The Max Attract, Lablab, and Rackmaster products were obtained from the local Barnes Ace Hardware. The search for inoculant continues but apparently there won't be any. That's the word at least from the Tecomate Rep--who wasn't aware of the apparent shortage until Thrash told of our searching woes. Seems most inoculant comes from Australia, and the extended drought there has cut into the Aussie's ability to produce the stuff. Big D planted the Lee Place strip around April 25th and we planted around the Meadow on May 5th. Think our stuff was Rackmaster Deluxe, but I ain't sure.

Some details about the products from websites.....

Max Attract -We have sought out the very finest such plants, from energy-rich premium grains to high-protein clovers, peas and vetches. And, to make absolutely certain that Max-Attract is unmatched, we’ve added chicory, the forage sensation not found in any other competitive annual fall blend. Deer love this stuff, and it establishes quickly and produces nearly year-round.

Rackmaster Deluxe - Soybeans, iron clay cowpeas, buckwheat, sunflower, and sorghum make up the perfect mixture of seed ingredients to create an ideal food source and excellent cover for deer, turkey, dove and quail.

Pennington's Rackmaster brand of deer mineral offers the required 2:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorous and is an all natural, soil colored formula that is easy to use when making mineral licks.

Monster Mix - Packed with world-class legumes plus loads of the forage sensation chicory, Monster Mix comes as close to being the perfect year-round food plot mix as anything on the market.

Lablab - Lablab has been scientifically proven to add an unprecedented 20 to 40 inches of antler and pounds of weight to mature bucks! These phenomenal results are due to its extraordinary protein (up to 38%) and phosphorous levels, ideal Ca/P ratio and superb palatability and digestibility. Lablab is essentially a super cowpea, only far more nutritious, preferred and productive (capable of producing over 10,000 pounds/acre). Plus, it’s drought, disease and insect resistant.
