    Does anybody know of a food plot seed that could be used for a spot in the woods that only receives 2-3 hrs max of sunlight a day and will still grow decently? Unfortunately cutting trees to open the canopy is not an option for this property.

    Thanks

    Any seed will work as long as you realize it will take longer to grow and won't be as thick or as tall.

    Sounds like clover. That will grow anywhere.

    Or winter wheat or rye, that stuff will grow on asphalt if it gets enough rain on it.
