 uail Unlimited, wildlife professionals and seed company representatives have designed a food plot mix adapted to any region of the bobwhite range.
This special mix is a combination of several varieties of red and white sorghums and up to 5 maturities ranging from 55 to 100 days. The mix is a blend of sorghums,  some that grow tall to resist deer damage, and a variety of grain sorghums in a combination of maturities, heights and grain colors. The food plot mix is highly adapted to varying climatic conditions and soil types. The shorter maturing varieties will provide grain early in late summer and early fall with the later maturing varieties providing quail food for late winter.
"Studies have shown that access to high energy grains increases the fat reserves of wintering bobwhites and increases their ability to withstand winter stress periods," says Roger Wells, QU National Habitat Director. "In many parts of the bobwhite range, winter is the most critical time for survival and winter losses may take years to recover."
Mix Specifications
Approximately 7% early grain sorghum, 27% medium- and late-grain sorghums, 18% tall late forage sorghums, 26% medium-height and maturity forage sorghums, 20% early forage sorghums, and 2% Egyptian wheat.
QU food plot mix is packaged in 10 and 25-pound bags. The cost is $32 for a 10-pound bag and $58 for a 25-pound bag.
A 25 lb bag will plant 2 1/2 to 5 acres, depending on the planting method used.
