Waterfowl Sanctuary Screen Mix

Waterfowl Sanctuary Screen is a mix comprised of Egyptian wheat in combination to switchgrass and clover designed to provide a barrier that can be used in many different circumstances.  When used in conjunction with a waterfowl food plot or moist soil managed areas, this mix creates great natural cover to provide a sense of security while providing a great natural location for a hunting blind.  In addition, this mix provides excellent nesting habitat for local waterfowl and upland game.  Due to its ability to reach heights upwards of 10ft and to remain standing throughout winter, this mix also makes great screens for deer food plots or as concealment of entrance and exit routes to stands.   The Egyptian wheat will provide an excellent tall screen in its first planting while allowing the perennial warm season grass and clover to establish themselves in following years.  For best results broadcast on a firm clean seedbed in late spring/early summer.
