In this video I go over what planting equipment is needed to plant food plots for whitetail deer hunting. Corn, soybeans, alfalfa, turnips, radishes, clover, winter wheat, cereal rye, oats, and peas are well known food plots that hunters plant to hold mature bucks on their property. But what equipment is needed to plant these food plots? will a drill plant them all??? will a planter plant them all??? What are the differences between planters and drills, what are the differences in a conventional planter and a no till planter, and which piece of equipment will plant the food plots you want to plant.

Great educational video. I appreciate you. I'm retiring from the military after 33 years, I can't wait to start my food plots on the homestead. 👍🏻🇺🇸

I’m doing all soybeans in May, all I have is a broadcaster….. I sure hope it’s going to work

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Are you going to work the ground b4 planting ? Or broadcast on top?

@tannerculver5315 3 месяца назад

Yea I’ve already tilled the ground (I tilled a little early)

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Just check to see what kind of shape the ground is in, heavy rains can pack it back down. You going to disk them in?

@tannerculver5315 3 месяца назад

I was going to drag with a harrow and then pack em in with ATV tires

I bought plugs for my 6’ drill to only use 4 holes for corn. I’m testing it out this year and will see how it works.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Let me know how it does planting the corn! Good luck and thanks for watching

Great video, only one thing I would argue is that a genesis no till planter doesn't have front coulters.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Hey Aaron, I’ve looked online and can’t seem to find a front picture of the genesis drill. There has to be something cutting a trench in the ground. Thanks for watching

@aaroncampbell2723 3 месяца назад

@@DIYfoodplotpro my friend has an 8' genesis and all there is are the opening disks. I have a 10' remlinger and it has front coulters, especially works better than genesis when planting in corn duff from previous year.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Aaron thanks for letting me know! Those remlingers look like some awesome machines! They appear to be built like an absolute tank! You like yours?

@aaroncampbell2723 3 месяца назад

@@DIYfoodplotpro yes, I love mine. I plant everything with it. Corn, soybeans, rr alphalpha, clover, brassicas, sunflowers, you name it. It does take alot of tractor for a 10' especially on my steep ground here in northeast Pa. 120hp 4wd, it's heavy.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Wow!!! 120 horsepower for 10 foot drill! That is a ton of tractor, that thing must be stout as they come! Makes me want one!

I have the Tar River No- Till Drill and planting corn with it is a disaster. The seeds get hung up In the seed cup and then eventually dumps out spilling about 10 seeds at a time in a very small space. Otherwise, no such problems with soybeans and cereal grains.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

I can definitely see where there could be a lot of problems using a drill to plant corn. Have you had good luck with the tar river other than trying to plant corn?

@michaelgangadeen8013 3 месяца назад

@@DIYfoodplotpro Soybeans did well and the cereal grains look beautiful. I haven't tried clover or alfalfa but I might this fall.

@carrollsanders9376 3 месяца назад

Round corn goes through a no till drill better, than flat corn, just set the drill up for Lima beans.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Thanks carol! I appreciate you sharing your experiences, as I’ve never attempted corn with a no till drill. Thanks for watching

@carrollsanders9376 3 месяца назад

@@DIYfoodplotpro I have planted corn in a mix, 1/2 standing corn, 1/2 Cowpeas or Forage Soybeans. I have also planted corn and Egyptian wheat in a blend, anytime you do a small seed and a large seed though you have to set the drill for the large seed. If you want to space out the rows just ducttape over the openings. You can also use dividers inside the drill to sow one row of corn one of Beans that works well for Forage soybean corn mixes.

@user-qx8mv5sj8h 3 месяца назад

Drill NO. Planter NO. Broadcast is best for most seeds. Corn is an exception.

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

Corn definitely is the exception to that rule but I’ve also broadcasted corn with good luck, but much more tricky. One thing I like about planters or drills is the reduction in weeds and grasses. When we till and broadcast we stir up a bunch of weeds/grass seeds and every time after it rains, they germ up, making controlling them much more difficult. Straight broadcast with no tillage is good for many small seeds, but weather and rain events become much more important in those scenarios. Thanks for watching

@clarkwheeler8764 3 месяца назад

Ok Plot Professor--How about a conventional planter to do just small seed on a no till plot? I've heard conventional planters can get down a quarter to half an inch even if the field is not worked up. Not worth the investment??

@DIYfoodplotpro 3 месяца назад

I would think a conventional planter would be able to do small seeds like brassicas or clovers in certain conditions….but then it’s gonna be really difficult to get the correct LBS per acre down on the field. In that situation I would stick with spraying ahead, extremely light disking and broadcasting before a good rain, I think you will be better off. Thanks for watching.
