TnT Seed Company Fast Forage deer food plot seed mix, 1/4-acre jug — quick-establishing peas, oats & brassicas

TnT Seed Company Fast Forage is a rapid-establishing annual food-plot mix formulated to produce attractive forage on up to 1/4 acre with a simple broadcast or no-till planting.

Fast Forage blends six fast-growing forage varieties — including winter peas, forage oats, winter rye, radish, kale, and brassica — to create a versatile, quick-cover planting that works in sandy, poor, or fertile soils. Packaged in a 5.5 lb jug that covers approximately a quarter-acre depending on seeding method, this mix is designed for hunters and land managers who need dependable forage quickly, whether planted in spring for green-up or late summer for fall attraction.

How quickly will I see usable forage after planting?

Fast Forage was developed for speed: many sites show visible growth in just a few weeks under favorable moisture and temperature. The combination of sprouting peas, oats, and rye gives early biomass while brassicas and radish add additional leaf and root growth as temperatures moderate.

• Observable sprouts often within 7–14 days in warm, moist conditions.
• Substantial leafy growth for browsing in 3–6 weeks depending on soil and rainfall.
• Works for last-minute plantings where quick attraction is critical.

What planting methods work best for this seed mix?

Fast Forage is user-friendly: you can broadcast seed and rely on natural rainfall to settle seed into the soil, or seed into a prepared, loosened seedbed for faster establishment. It’s also suitable for no-till situations where you inject or lightly cover seed into existing vegetation or a frost-seeded scenario.

• Broadcast (throw & grow) for quick, low-effort plots.
• Drill or shovel seed into a prepared seedbed for increased germination rates.
• No-till or frost seeding works for minimal soil disturbance setups.

Will this mix perform in different soil and weather conditions?

The blend was selected to tolerate a wide range of conditions, from sandy, low-fertility ground to richer sites. Winter rye and forage oats provide resilience across temperature swings, while peas fix some nitrogen and brassicas tolerate cooler fall weather, extending the useful season.

• Performs well in sandy or poor soils where quick cover is needed.
• Drought and variable-weather tolerant components help maintain forage.
• Suitable for both spring green-up and fall/winter food plots.

What coverage and seed rate should I expect from a 5.5 lb jug?

The supplied 5.5 lb jug is formulated to cover up to one-quarter acre with typical broadcast seeding; actual coverage varies with seeding depth, soil contact, and whether you use a drill. Adjust seeding rate upward in heavy weed competition or poor seed-to-soil contact scenarios for better results.

• Estimated coverage: up to 1/4 acre with broadcast methods.
• Increase seeding rate for no-till into heavy vegetation or compacted soil.
• Plant in spring or late summer/early fall depending on local climate.

Who this is for: Fast Forage is aimed at hunters, landowners, and wildlife managers who need a quick, reliable food plot solution without complex inputs. If you want a low-effort mix that establishes rapidly, handles a range of soil conditions, and attracts deer and turkeys across spring and fall plantings, this blend is designed for those last-minute and routine food-plot needs.
