Key decisions for success with small grain/forage peas include selecting good small grain and pea varieties (or pre-mixed seed), seeding rate, soil fertility and harvest timing.

Forage Peas are a cool-season legume that provides maximum nutrition during the crucial growing months. This legume with great forage yield potential should be planted into a clean, firm seedbed when both drilling or broadcasting. Seeding Rate: 70 lbs/acre drilled or broadcasted

Forage peas are a cool season legume developed to produce high quality forage for livestock or wildlife consumption. Barley, oats, and triticale are usually combined with the peas to support upright growth. These are a popular addition to wildlife food plot seed mixtures.
