OTHER: Iron Clay Cow Peas are a popular legume grown in food plots for wildlife. Grow them alone or mixed with other forage plants. Deer, rabbit, turkey, quail, & dove will enjoy browsing their foliage or munching on their seeds which are high in protein. These fast growing legumes can be sown in the spring, summer, or in the fall in warmer climates. They are tolerant of heat & periods of drought, & being more cold hardy than many varieties will continue growing until frost strikes. Being a legume, Iron Clay Cowpeas (which, by the way, are actually a bean, not a pea) can help fix nitrogen in the soil to make it more fertile.
