- Peas, Partridgepea
- Partridgepeas are annual reseeding legumes that grow 1' to 5' tall and will grow almost anywhere in all type soils. They provide good cover for quail and other wildlife. They give protection, winter food, summer shade and insect brood habitat. Prepare seed bed, cover lightly and pack with tractor tire or cultipacker. A little fertilizer may be applied the first year, but on most soils it is not necessary. With light disking or burning each spring in March, the patch will reseed for years. Broadcast with a cyclone seeder at a 10 to 15 pounds per acre rate February through July. Partridgepeas will have mature seeds in about 110 days after germination. Seeds have a very hard seed coat and germinate over a period of time insuring longevity of the stand.
- Prairie Bromegrass (Dixon - Lakota - Matua)
- Seeding in early fall or spring is recommended. Seed at 25 to 30 pounds per acre when planted with Alfalfa, Clover or Puna Chickory, or seed at 50 to 60 pounds per acre when planted alone. This grass is much more attractive to deer than most other perennial grasses such as Fescue.
