ANTLER CHICORY
Antler Chicory is a perennial cool-season forb that can last from 3 to 5 years when maintained properly. It produces a super long root that allows it to be quite drought tolerant. It is a little slower to establish than other species. Once established, it is very attractive to deer and has a protein content of up to 25%. Can be planted as the sole crop or used in addition to other food plot seed varieties.
