EZ No Till Food Plot Option 

This is great - short, easy to understand, step-by-step process with good supporting video showing what you do. Thank you.

Good tips Jeff. The shots of your sprayer make it look like you have a 7’ - 8’ spray width which would be great for edge spraying. You need to get a front mounted seeder for you ATV with the Packer Maxx on the back; one shot deal. Of course walking with the Earthway keeps you in shape for hunting. Love watching the plot progress on this property.

Thanks Jeff! Great share as always 👍

We have taken this approach !!! It’s Works very well !!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great stuff and extremely informative, thank you for all of the details you put in :-)

Going all in on these plots this year so I can’t wait to try this no till plots system!

Great video

This is a excellent series on food plots. I am a big fan. I will be trying the buckwheat smashdown method this year. I have watched the videos many times but I am lacking information on when would you fertilize during the buckwheat method.

Thanks Jeff👍🏻

Great stuff Jeff. This process is even easier than using Buckwheat unless you want the biomass to add for soil conditioning. Could you also do half of a plot like this in oats, peas and beans to compliment the brassicas (kale, radish, turnip etc.)

I've went to this process the last few years I have a Kubota 40 HP tractor an tiller but this system works so much better

Thanks again Jeff. Your advice is spot on and your presentation is excellent and very relatable. I'm in VT with similar climate conditions like Wi. I have deep hard woods with no AG lands for miles, primarily beach, maple, cherry with total 6 acres cleared for foodplots ranging 1/4 ac to 3 acre size) with lots of rocks. PH now is 7.2 after spreading 4 tons of to a of lime per ac 2 years ago. My question... is it better to use a 3pt tiller or spray 3x with of Gly prior to planting my brassicas (radish) and Winter Rye for weed suppression? If I spray with gly then I'm not providing deer any summer clover and keeping them in the routine to frequent the plots.

Great video Jeff! I'm looking to do something similar with a fallow field, but after a fall planting of white clover I would like to plant spruce in the spring to integrate the field back into the woods and promote it as a bedding area. I would prefer to sporadically plant the trees to make it more natural, so mowing is not an option. Apart from white clover do you recommend any short stem plants that I could plant in the fall or frost seed to help compete with the weeds and give the trees +/-3 years of growth before the tall weeds overtake the area again.

Jeff great video as always, do you have a pollinator blend you recommend to plant? I've been watching for months but forget sometimes 🙂

My super easy rotation in northern Iowa. 1/2 of the acreage in brassicas, 1/2 the acreage in winter rye. Frost seed medium red clover over both in March. Clip the rye right before heading out, usually end of May. Spray the clover with R'up middle of July. Plant Brassicas end of July with a no-till drill. Clip the clover about this time on the plot going into rye. Spray clover going into rye the middle of Aug. and notill drill rye end of Aug. or first week of Sept. Takes a good quality no-till drill and a sprayer. That's it. Red clover is cheap and I've never had a frost seeding of it fail in over 10 years.

Hey Jeff all some video I tried this method last year and it worked great for my food plots, I know after the first year you like to turn it in to your ultimate to till process but I was wondering if you didn’t have a Packer max could you try it again for this growing season.

Thanks, looking forward to trying some of the tips. Unfortunately my land is all messy select logged woods on rugged hilly land, will have to bring in heavy equipment to clear it first before it looks nice like that land.

Hi Jeff, great video as always. No mention of 24D added with the Glyfosate. Should I add it with the first spraying and just use Glyfosate for the later sprayings? Thank you.

Great video as usual! Question, do you change your mock scrape vines out every year or do they stay out as an established licking branch?

I love that you do the follow-up little question about the plot start say it's not long-lasting like the lime so it just changes the soil for a couple in the Bible flat start

Hi Jeff! Another question. In your last food plot video you said you don’t want the food near your borders so the deer don’t bed on their land. In the case of a long skinny property (93yards widex450 yards long) would you say make the food in a u shape back by your house and bedding at the other end of the property so you catch deer coming off the neighbors and direct them back to your bedding? Or on a narrow property like this is bedding on your neighbors inevitable?

Thanks again Jeff! I was wondering, I have a clover food plot, do you recommend any weed killer for it?

You should try a Grubber for the small trees/bushes..........pull it out with your UTV. I've yanked out 3" diameter stuff with it hooked to my truck.

when is the best time to apply the plot start?

Chemicals are so natural!

Great video, what is they best food plot program to grow deer herds in the UP?

Would you change anything on your no till for a newly cleared pine clear cut plot in very sandy conditions?

OK so now we are in spring and I followed your procedure last season. What do I do with all my green rye coming in right now to prepare for fall? Do I start spraying again??

Do you use the packer max after you broadcast buckwheat or just leave it right on top of the soil?

Can you use this method to establish Switchgrass for the following spring? IE spray the fallow field all summer and broadcast this fall or next spring? I was worried that there would be to much debris matted down for the seed

Jeff, is gray dogwood a good browse for deer? I was thinking of planting some in a 5 year old pine plantation

Have you been to northwest Montana. I’m trying out this method on my 20 acres. I have not had great luck with seed germination because August is so dang dry

This time of year it's very popular in my area (central Iowa) to burn fields like your standing in. Why wouldn't you burn, or at least when would you burn instead of spraying in the next month of so. Burning then seeding over the top seems faster, easier and more efficient. What about spraying, then burning the weed debris?Thoughts?

Jeff, you mention it would require twice the chemicals if you use a 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Why wouldn’t the 2 quarts per acre not apply. I’m only spraying 1 acre, so if I take your formula of 25 gallons for 2 acres and divide it by 2, it would require 12.5 gallons for my one acre, which is 3.125 tanks of my 4 gallon sprayer?

Jeff, can I just plant rye and continue to overseed during the summer and fall?

Jeff, When do you usually start spraying Simazine?

Maybe wrong post for this question. Purchased a new property has a couple established plots on it. Going to use ultimate no till on those and this process to create a couple smaller hunt plots. When are you applying the DeerGro for both methods? I See it says not to mix with Glyphosate on the container?

What spray nozzles are you using? At 10 mph I go through 25 gal. In about a third of an acre.

Hi Jeff, do you have any concerns with using glyphosate? (health reasons)

What food plot would you recommend that’s a no till for turkey and deer? I live in eastern NC hot summers and cold winter doesn’t really get to us until January and February.

Where are you buying seeds for your buckwheat? Is There a particular blend or seed you look for?

Great video as usual. So this is different from others you have posted as you arent planting buckwheat. Is there a reason you would or would not use the buckwheat procedure?

Can you explain why you wouldn’t use 24D in this scenario? Usually you like to use it so I just want to make sure I understand this different scenario.

I have phragmites I burned coming back up could I spray that now or have to wait till fall to spray and kill it. I want to put native grasses for bedding where the phragmighties as taken hold

Is it a good idea to plant a food plot in a cut wheat feild. If so what would be some good options

How many seasons do you get out of the fimco??

What is a good food plot to plant in spring to get deer coming to it all summer long ?

Jeff, can you do this method without chemicals? The area I hunt has honey bee hives on it and the owner has a strict no chemical rule.

In your professional opinion what would be the best perennial food plot know till mix to use for the state of Virginia

Any reason you don't use a product like prodiamine with your first application of glyphosate?

Could you elaborate more on the plot start? Thanks

Looks like a mess but those trees / bushes you mentioned offer woody browse to deer then you add food on top of it and that equals perfection. Everyone thinks food but woody browse are just as important when trying to hold and manage your deer

Jeff, any recommendations or videos for no till options that do well in heavy shade?

Hey Jeff. Im starting a new plot that is overgrown and I'm just now starting the process. Would it be better to mow it with a brush hog and then spray the weeds and then broadcast the seed right into that?

How many times do you spray before you plant ?

What do you spray on your brassica blend/clover to kill before a summer plot/rotation plot?

how do you deal with multi flora rose bushes ?

I'm in the market for an ATV sprayer. Which model are you all using that you would purchase again?

Does anyone know if I can use a lawn roller to pack the seed down into the soil (1/4”-1/2”) in leu of using a culti-packer? Cost difference is the main reason.

Could a guy get away with spraying twice with roundup and then planting buckwheat? I live in central MN and have a couple acres of old crp field. The soil is sandy and not the best.

Jeff. I’m confused. This video is skipping the Buckwheat step of no till. When do I use buckwheat step and when not? Thx.

What name brand lime you use

Do you ever do a prescribed burn?

Jeff, any reason you're not putting buckwheat in first?

Can you plant buckwheat like this in june

How much should I add to a 40 gallon sprayer as far as glyphosate?

Be nice if the wind would let up enough to spray and now we have rain lol 😆

Will weed killer kill briar patches

don't the deer eat the weeds?

What’s an alternative to that cancer chemical you’re spraying?

Guys and gals don’t spray your plots on windy days
