Good to hear somebody actually give Lick Creek a shout out. Learned more about food plotting from Paul than everyone else combined. Enjoy your videos John, keep up the good work.

@thomasverdino269 Год назад

That was the most informative and organized video regarding various plantings I have ever watched. Great job. Thanks for the info.

@habitatsolutions360llc3 Год назад

Great video John, & good timing. Its getting to be the time of year to finalize our late summer planting forages.

@markst.martinii9635 Год назад

Your Green Forage blend has to be up there with the best Jon. 3 years in a row it’s been fantastic.

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

Ya Took a few years to get it right. Great blend for ag areas as the green half of the plots.

What do you fertilize yours with? I’m looking to plant it soon

@nathanlester5054 Год назад

Great information John! Thank you for the great explanation and examples. We plant a lot of oats, rye, and wheat here in the South. One of the most planted cereal rye is the Elbon variety. Another cereal rye that we have to special order is the Nelson variety. I don't know if Nelson will grow in your location, but if it can, the deer will walk through Elbon rye to get to the Nelson variety.

@johnshull6027 6 месяцев назад

Great video John! Do you recommend splitting a smaller food plot (1/2-3/4 acre) in two and doing greens on one side and then grains on the other, and rotating every year? I’ve heard it’s good to rotate to avoid disease and fungus especially for brassica. SW Michigan. Thanks!

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 6 месяцев назад

Yes We love that rotation. Add some red or crimson clover to the grains

@davidvankainen6711 Год назад

I've haf good luck with the "field rye" (VNS Winter Rye) grown locally for the coop. Figured the misc corn, oats in it wiould wiinter kill anyway and no probs. The cllover seed (or maybe local radish), hiowever might have been a different balll game in retrospect, reason I added your clover blend along with my sweet feast order. Don't even get me started on coop local sourced switch grass!

John, another great video! I have a bag of your seclusion 360 I am planning on putting in this fall hoping it will get a good start and take off next year. Can I use one of the mixes discussed in this video as an attraction for this fall or is it better to just use some oats as a cover crop? Thanks. Took your advise and lightly disced your buckwheat in this summer and the results compared to last year of just broadcasting on top of the soil are unbelievable in a good way!! Keep the great content coming!!

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

Oats or the fall forage can be used

@mitchh7216 Год назад

Very informative video! I planted my first food plots ever with your seed last year and couldn't have been happier with the results. Can you plant oats as a cover crop to fill in the open spaces or is rye the best option?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

If it’s over seeding I would use rye. Oats can work as a cover crop when planting clover

@jbonesbonees4518 Год назад

Great Video, I am surrounded by AG in southern michigan but in the woods. Thinking of trying the Green Forage Blend, can you add rye to it John to keep some regen going or just overseed late sept?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

you could try 20 pounds of rye at planting

@mo-46 Год назад

Great info! I have decent rye thatch in my plot. Can i broadcast fall forage or the green forage blend into the thatch and cultipack before a rain? Or still prefer to bury it even with some thatch?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

Rain will definitely dictate that. The green blend should probably be buried if possible. If it’s dry bury the fall forage, if it’s consistent rains and you can get the thatch on top of the seed it may be notilled. If it’s hard clay, definitely bury it to help break up the surface crust.

@JBesq Год назад

⁠John, you’re about 8-10 days out from brassica. Same here but I’m splitting my plot. Should I seed the other area with fall forage at same time ? I’m using buckwheat as a cover crop so I’ll be rolling it over and don’t want to wait too long before the buckwheat goes to seed.

Enjoyed the video, very informative. I live in SC i don't own a tractor but my plan is cut the area as low as i can use a dethatcher get up all clippings which it will scratch the dirt a little throw out some 19-19-19, a little bit of turnips, red clover and a little bit of radishes. Then late September early October broadcast rye and or oats. I have very sandy rockie soil. Would you blend that may work better? Your cereal rye is it the hairless variety? Thanks.

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Год назад

There is a place for it. But as bad as our soils are up here , any food plus OM building I can get from rye is a big plus. But if wheat is a big draw in your area, by all means keep using it.

I'm curious what type of peas you'd recommend for the SE. Right now, I've been using cowpeas, which works fine.

Re radish. I have been adding radish to my rye plots for years. My game cams show the deer selectively hitting the radish and ignoring the rest. I keep upping my rate yet I have not seen a radish make october yet. I cannot decide if this is a win or a fail.

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 14 дней назад

Win

@RolandLehman Год назад

John, if you have buckwheat in a plot right know, do you recommend killing it off (rolling/spraying) and then coming back a week later and lightly discing the Fall Forage in so the seed is covered? I too have rolled the buckwheat over the seed with so-so results. Looking for the most reliable option. Thanks

When you talk about a green plow down are you mowing a couple times and then spraying to terminate, then tilling in or do you literally have to turn it in green for all the benefits

Would you ever sow radish into white clover/chicory plot; especially this sad, dry year?

@brushcrawler8612 Год назад

If the clover is canopied, there won't be enough sun getting to the ground. If the clover is drought stressed/overbrowsed/mowed and there is a lot of bare soil, it will do as well as your site allows.

Does cereal rye seed need to overwinter before it germinates? I cut off a bucketful of seed head and I was going to try and thresh it myself and broadcast it.
