Iron and clay cowpeas are one of the most popular peas for
wildlife enthusiasts who are planting warm season plots for deer and other
wildlife. They are extremely high
yielding in forage mass with high protein levels. They tend to be productive throughout the summer.
Cowpeas are generally very
tolerant to deer pressure and once established have good re-growth potential.
They
will also produce seeds in pods in late summer that make excellent quail and
turkey food as they dry and shatter.
Iron & Clay Peas
(Iron-Clay Cowpeas) are a southern favorite for food plots and are an easily planted crop
either in
row or by broadcasting. This is an annual legume that provides forage and seeds for deer and
game birds alike, and can be planted in early March through September depending upon the
climate zone.
PLANTING RATES
Plant to the rate of 60 lb. per acre
OR Plant
3-5 lb. per 1000 sq. ft.
These peas
are ideal mixed with other food plot additives and are easy to divide
and plant as short strips
between other crops. More on Iron
& Clays.
