Gamecover Mixes

Gamemix 109

Suitable for CFE, ELS and Game Cover
This is an inexpensive mix, ideal for the CFE scheme and it requires minimal inputs after sowing.

Contains: Mustard, Fodder Radish, White Millet, Phacelia, Buckwheat and Reed Millet

Gamemix 206

Long Term Cover Option
This is a very popular mix that is inexpensive, simple to establish and will last for several years.  Keepers across the country are delighted with the performance of this mix and it gives reliable, attractive cover for 5 seasons or more.  It is not eligible for the ELS Scheme as a Wild Bird Mix.

Contains: Reed Millet, Perennial Chicory, Reed Canary Grass and Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover

Gamemix 306

Partridge Heaven!
Another mix that we have used for many years now, as we have seen how Partridges love the cover it provides.  The mix provides warm cover with lots of feed to hold the birds well into the season. It is debatable whether this meets the ELS rules and would recommend using the GM406 if that is what you are looking for.

Contains: Dwarf Grain Sorghum, White Millet and Dwarf Sunflowers

Gamemix 406

Suitable for CFE, ELS and Game Cover
This mix has been popular with our clients as it offers an ELS compatible mix, giving excellent cover for game and that can be kept clean with herbicide.  The seed can be drilled with conventional farm kit, but benefits from a row width of 35 – 50cm

Contains: Spring Triticale, White Millet, Linseed and Dwarf Grain Sorghum

Corn Bunting Mix

Suitable for CFE, ELS and some HLS Agreements

This mix has primarily been designed to meet the requirements of several HLS clients that we have worked with, as it is a prescription mix for their agreements.  This mix is actually for the Corn Buntings to both nest in, late into the summer, as well as feed on later in the season.

Contains: Spring Barley, Spring Triticale, Spring Wheat, Mustard, Fodder Radish, White Millet

Tree Sparrow Mix

Suitable for CFE, ELS and some HLS Agreements

Like the Corn Bunting Mix, this is primarily aimed at HLS clients that need this for their HF12 prescriptions.  However it is an excellent choice for farmland bird enthusiasts who are looking for a CFE mix that is very straightforward to grow.

Contains: Red Millet, White Millet, Spring Triticale, Spring Wheat and Quinoa

Oakbank Catch Crop Mix

A fast growing rescue / stubble crop
This is a tried and tested recipe of fast growing Brassica species that work extremely well together, giving a mixture of cover and some feed for farmland birds.  It is a very flexible mix with a wide sowing window, whether the seed is drilled or broadcast.

Contains: Forage Rape, Tyfon Stubble Turnips and Mustard
