other sources of foods; insects, weeds, berries, worms, flower nectar etc. We have
concentrated our suggestions on man-planted stands of various pure and mixed varieties of
food sources from seeds. Be sure and also see our pages on
wildflower seed which some
species of birds also enjoy.

Food Plots Serve Wild Birds More Than Just Food
When you plant a food plot it serves as much more than just a place
for wild game to feed. Most food plots serve a multitude of insect
and animal life. For instance the seeds that are produced in a
food plot will feed many types of wild game birds. Food plots also
provide shelter for smaller animals such as quail and rabbits.
Food plots also draw insects upon which wild game birds may feed.
Many of the food plots planted appeal to a wide range of wildlife from
deer to quail. Thus a good food plot can support a number of
animals that you may not have considered when you first planted.
Many food plot crops appeal to the palate of several species of
animals and we have listed one such game mix below. For more detailed information visit the links above or in
the menu to the right under Wildlife Food Plot Tips.

Seed Rate For Pennington Wild Bird Game Mixtures
A 40# bag of Pennington Wingmaster Wild Bird mix will cover approximately a little over an acre. It is a good idea to divide food plot acreage into smaller, separate plots for better results.
The recommended planting rate is 40 lb. to the acre. These food plots are not always planted under optimum weather conditions and thicker seeding may be necessary.
Broadcast rates are higher than drilled.
