A good hunting plot has one job: pull deer into range during season. Tecomate Greenfield fall food plot seed for deer was formulated for exactly that, to attract and concentrate deer. It mixes premium cereal grains and high-protein legumes with forage brassicas and clover to provide fall and winter nutrition when rutting bucks need it most.
What is Greenfield?
Greenfield is a fall-only hunting blend. The cereal grains and peas give deer quick early-season forage, while the brassicas yield high-sugar forage and bulbs after frost. Clover rounds out the mix. Tecomate says the blend produces lots of fall and winter forage while withstanding the heaviest grazing pressure, and that it attracts deer about 20 days after planting.
Because it combines several plant types, Greenfield gives deer a choice of forage as the season changes: tender grains and peas early, then sweeter brassica leaves and bulbs once cold weather arrives. That variety is a big part of what keeps deer coming back to the same plot from opening day into the late season.

When and how to plant Greenfield deer food plot seed
Planting time: all zones, fall only.
Seeding rate: 20 lbs. plants 1/2 acre; 40 lbs. plants 1 acre.
Planting depth: 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
Because Greenfield is a mix of larger grains and peas with small brassica and clover seed, seedbed prep matters. A typical approach:
- Soil test and apply lime and fertilizer based on the results.
- Disc the plot to a loose, clean seedbed with an ATV/UTV implement such as the Impact Implements disc plow / harrow.
- Broadcast seed at the labeled rate, ideally just before expected rain.
- Press it in with a cultipacker with weight tray to firm the soil and improve seed-to-soil contact at the shallow 1/8 to 1/4 inch depth.
Since deer start showing up about 20 days after planting, count back from your opener when picking a planting date. You can order Greenfield in a 20 lb or 40 lb bag sized to your plot.
Tips: pair Greenfield with Max-Attract
Tecomate suggests a simple way to increase attraction: plant half of a large food plot with Greenfield and the other half with Tecomate Max-Attract, or plant them side by side in two smaller plots. Offering deer two different food sources in the same area gives them a reason to keep coming back through the season.
Other general tips:
- Place hunting plots where you can access your stand without crossing the field.
- Long, narrow plots or plots with irregular edges tend to make deer more comfortable stepping out in daylight.
- Plan a larger plot or several plots if you have high deer numbers, since early grazing can be heavy.
