Does anyone know what the WI Winter Greens has in it? Is it best for a sunny area only?

Some north country whitetail info:
Some plot plantings become less attractive with cold weather and hard frosts. Others may not lose their allure but, when buried in snow, they require more effort than the deer are willing to expend, especially if there are alternative food sources that require less effort.

The Whitetail Institute's late-season food plot product, Winter-Greens, is the answer to these winter problems. A brassica blend, Winter-Greens is designed specifically to attract deer in late season.

Winter-Greens are the most effective late-season food plot product you can plant.

It works two ways. First, brassicas by nature actually sweeten with a hard frost. To be precise, the first hard frost triggers plant maturity, which in turn results in a sweeter taste. It's like a banana. When it's still green, a banana is not very tasty. Once mature or ripe however, a yellow banana is very tasty. Brassicas just require a hard frost to mature and get tasty. So, while other food plots are becoming less appealing, or are getting eaten down, Winter-Greens are getting better. And don't think the deer don't know it!

By incorporating Winter-Greens to your food plot scenario you are also adding valuable nutrition during the harsh winter months when natural food sources remain scarce or nonexistent.

Add some Winter-Greens to your food plot program today and have healthier deer tomorrow.

What all does it have in it for seed? There should be a label on the bottom of the bag that says what all it contains for seed blend. Is it mainly turnups?

no its a leafy cabbage like plant. it takes several hard frosts to get it to turn edible to the deer. It grows very quickly. When it turns, it will start to get a light sour smell to it.

Winter greens are brassicas which should include types of rape and turnips. Often times one type of rape used is dwarf essex rape, which last year I bought at the feed store for $1.20 a pound. It is also a very small seed so 10 bucks will go a good way. Just a thought for anyone planting a plot of rye, wheat, or oats, and want their plot to be green during gun season.
