I learn something from every video- like a college education these past 3 years- I've watched every video. Thanks Jeff.

Ive learned so much off this channel, slowly over the past few hunting seasons with all these RU-vid videos I’ve improved our hunting plot from a zero to probably a 5-6 out of 10. Thankyou. It’s payed off big time for a NC whitetail hunter

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 3 года назад

Very important thing to take from this video is fall TONNAGE. Small plots need to produce tonnage. Spring / summer is time to build soil, fall - winter we need tonnage. The kitchen sink blends can not produce the tonnage like the strip plots can.

I would add that anyone who tries the buckwheat smother crop for the first time and struggles with weeds and moisture levels in that first year, don't give up on it. It DOES work! Last year was a rough start due to me not spraying it in time before the buckwheat planting and then a small drought hit not allowing my brassica and bean and pea plots to grow. The rye saved the plots for sure and this year right now, the plots are completely weed free. This year will go way better. Don't give up on these methods even if you start out rough! It absolutely works!

This advice to use rye if needed later in the year allowed me to save a few plots last year due to my POB plantings that died out due to lack of rain. Thanks for the continued advice to the deer hunting community across the US!

@stevegermain1222 3 года назад

You have hammered this home diversity looks great but it does challenge your tonnage for sure I'm going with the buckwheat soon to build on the soil and then I'm going to do the strip method later but I'm also going to add some corn around the perimeter this year and oh yeah the wall of Egyptian wheat for those prying eyes

Jeff thanks for your videos. I certainly missed how you suggest to eliminate the winter rye in late spring early summer. Then start the next crop for fall.

@darinbarber2922 3 года назад

Thanks for all of the great information in your videos. I have a question on whether clover can be planted after I have cultipacked the rye in? My thought is soil improvement for next fall and food for next spring. Thanks again for all the great planting videos!

@rfb7117 3 года назад

Thanks for all he great info. Planting corn this week and will plant the buckwheat the first week of June. Question...when planting our food plot mixes into the Buckwheat is it best to 1. Broadcast the seed, 2. cultlpack 3. and then spray with roundup? thanks, Bob

@icehog2367 3 года назад

Plant sugar beets in mid-May, nothing else needed. Deer won't touch then until late September and you'll find just about every shed antler from the entire herd come Spring. It's hard to beat the draw and the tonnage, nothing else compares.

@dmouse522 3 года назад

What do you do June- September with layered rye? Talking about very small narrow plot with little desirable ag around. Buckwheat won't make it past the "chomp".

@MrMillertime2003 3 года назад

Jeff, would you broadcast buckwheat straight into your standing rye? My plots look exactly like yours right now but I don’t think I’ve heard you say how are you actually plant your buckwheat.

@kevinfowler6065 3 года назад

Long story as to the reason why I’ll leave that out. But last fall I did the rye layering (erosion control) in the way you describe. I had deer on that field everyday, daylight and evenings, it was remarkable to see. ( I frost seeded switchgrass into it I don’t want a food plot in this location). Thanks for all your tips!

@malagamafia7729 3 года назад

Could I do a single layer of oats only and then come back with rye sept 1st and maybe again a few weeks later? Mostly wooded area in Central WA..about the same latitude as Duluth, MN.

@Jbomb17542 3 года назад

What setting on your Earthway spreader to you use for Brassica and Buckwheat?

@bradhruska3107 3 года назад

Hey Jeff, awesome stuff! We just purchased a new drill. With your combo, could you drill in beans, pees, and brassicas at the same time? Then have a side plot of oats, then overseed all of it with cereal rye come September? This is about 3 acres. Thanks and thank you again for all this information!

@brettbaker5599 2 года назад

Beans or peas with brassica, but you'll have to adjust your rates.

@joecianfarani6951 3 года назад

Do you kill the rye the following year and replant it the next year?

@jonathont6133 3 года назад

I'm sure you have had a similar question in the past, but what type of switchgrass do you recommend planting for cover? You're a huge proponent of switchgrass, but are there different varieties? If so, what specific species do you recommend planting? I live in Minnesota near Glencoe and have family that lives down in your area. Where do you get your seed mix?

@jamesshattuck8690 3 года назад

i do have a question jeff and not sure if this is the place to ask, or if i will get a response or not . but would you personally try to say cut a 1/4 acre plot in half with screening material/seed? also screen the out side edge?

@djack3140 11 месяцев назад

Would winter rye and clover be an appropriate mix for a brand new food plot in central Wisconsin? this plot would be about an acre. we have another plot where we have brassicas and oats and the farmer does a corn field.

Jeff, should I mow or spray my rye plot from last year? Or let it rye-de... see what I did there 😂

@allentodd5436 Год назад

Great info as usual. I was wondering how rye does with clover? Say like 85% rye and 10% clover

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

It does fairly well. Yiu plant at the timing for Rue, and plant the entire per acre for clover. At that time. Then mow out the rye or spray with Clethodim, next spring.

@RS-ms1bz 3 года назад

I have 98 acres of pure wooded mountain ground in WV. It was timbered 30 years ago. I’ve worked this spring cutting out all trees except the oaks in a ten thousand square foot area. Cleared all the debris on the ground down to dirt and just applied 1800 pounds of lime which soil test indicated. I plan to plant whitetail institute winter greens as a trial run this September. I also have a fertilizer mix that needs to be placed down at time of planting. It should be good to go once the acorns are gobbled up early October. Not sure if this helps, just a trial and error for me as this is the first year owning the property. It’s hard on extreme mountain ground, but chose the flattest, or least sloped area for the plot. It faces south to southwest so it should get plenty of sunlight. Had a lot of wild vines that I cut chest high on the fringes of the plot as a licking branch/scrape area.

When you say your 2nd and 3rd spray of glyphosate should be 4-6 weeks apart do you mean both sprays within that time period or spray once wait 4 weeks, spray again then wait another 4 weeks for the 3rd and final spray? Thanks!

@jeffpangborn4943 3 года назад

Spray. Wait 4-6 weeks. Spray again. Wait 4-6 more weeks, and spray a third time.

@steveloveland477 3 года назад

I'd like to have Jeff more specifically define northern settings. Ohio, lower Michigan, the UP? Seems clover attraction would be significantly different in Ohio in November than the UP or even lower Michigan. Yet, they are all considered northern settings.

@jamesstewart4966 2 года назад

just purchased Northwoods whitetail no till barrasica. I have a field of wild grass and weeds maybe an acre, my plan is in August to kill it all with glysophate( probably spelled that wrong) and spread the mix out in September. is this ok.

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 2 года назад

That won't be enough of a kill to lower the weed debris. You would need to spray immediately, them again mid July and then I always spray a 3rd time at planting time...mid August. Each spraying has to be about 4 to 5 weeks apart and the first spraying is always best in early to mid may. You can still make it work but 1 spraying won't cut it because the thatch and weed debris will shade out the new growth...even if dying or dead. You also won't get a very good kill because weeds are entering their Summer dormancy by then.

@jamesstewart4966 2 года назад

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you so much you don't know or maybe you do how much you and your team are appreciated. Love you guys. Recently read that they were no longer gonna make glyphosate after 2023. Is there any other alternative that really works.

Is it a bad idea to just buy seed from a local co-op and mix it myself to these ratios you are saying?

@poplardeer 3 года назад

That's what I do on the PBO portion, since the plants aren't growing to maturity, the variety isn't as important IMO, and shipping big bags of seed is expensive. Brassicas though are making it to maturity, and even with a little bit of shipping expense, it's tough to beat the blend from Northwoods Whitetails.

@javanwinders3399 3 года назад

@@poplardeer Yeah, I don't have a lot of foodplot area and shipping the seed cost more than what the seed cost
