LANDING STRIP OFFERS A UNIQUE BLEND OF PLANT VARIETIES DESIGNED TO PROVIDE COVER AND FOOD IN SUMMER, FALL, AND WINTER FOR YOUR RESIDENT AND MIGRATING WATERFOWL POPULATION. COMPRISED OF 3 VARIETIES OF MILLET AND 1 VARIETY OF SORGHUM, LANDING STRIP WILL MATURE IN 60-80 DAYS, CAN BE PLANTED BY WATER, AND CAN BE FLOODED ONCE IT IS MATURE. THIS COMBINATION OF PLANTS CAN GROW 3-5 FEET TALL AND WILL HELP INCREASE YOUR CHANCES DURING MIGRATION TO CREATE THE PERFECT “LANDING STRIP” TO HUNT OVER. LANDING STRIP CAN HANDLE THE HEAT, OFFERING FLEXIBILITY IN PLANTING DATES AND CAN HOLD UP FOR LONG PERIODS ONCE ESTABLISHED. LANDING STRIP WILL PROVIDE A RELIABLE FOOD SOURCE FOR WATERFOWL AND IS TYPICALLY PLANTED NEAR A WETLAND OR BODY OF WATER THAT CAN PROVIDE THE BIRDS WITH A DEPENDABLE SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER. PLANTING ON THE EDGE OF A POND OR IN A FLOODABLE AREA CAN PROVIDE GREAT RESULTS!
