Pennington Rackmaster Chicory Seed Type: Cool season perennialUses: Rackmaster Choice Chicory is a new variety of perennial chicory developed by New Zealand breeders for the United States. Choice is a great name because this chicory produces high quality, high protein, high yielding choice forage for deer and other wildlife.

Choice can produce up to 6 tons of dry matter forage per acre per year with protein levels of up to 32% and digestibility of the new leaves up to 90 to 95%. Through its deep taproot, Choice Chicory has the ability to make minerals more available in its leaves compared to other types of forage.
