As the temperatures drop, fall planting becomes an important task for Texas landowners aiming to support wildlife. Establishing food plots and cover crops during this season provides a crucial food source and protection from the elements, ensuring that wildlife thrives through the winter.
The Benefits of Fall Planting for Wildlife
Fall-planted crops offer a sustainable food source for wildlife when other resources are scarce. By planting during this season, you attract deer, turkey, and other game to your land, giving them access to nutrient-dense food that boosts their health and survival.
Best Crops to Plant in the Fall
For Texas landowners, oats and ryegrass are the two most familiar seeds for fall planting. These crops grow quickly and are ideal for cooler temperatures, providing reliable forage for deer and other wildlife. In addition to these staples, Morales Feed & Supply offers specialty seeds like radishes, turnips, clovers, peas, and vetch. These diverse options provide a variety of nutrients that will enhance the health of the wildlife on your property.
