I did the R/U & simazine May 2023, drilled RC BigRock 1st week of June, NO rain for 4 weeks & this stuff was still 6’ by mid September, this stuff is truly amazing!!!!
Johns RC big rock switch is Good stuff. I planted some in my yard with pretty heavy clay content in Missouri and it grew good even with hardly any moisture last year. And its priced well.
Thanks John! Got my order in Friday! I will say the brassicas I bought last year were absolute amazing! Will be planting the rc switch and Hd screen as well as brassicas and fall forage. If anyone finds this video know that John knows seed! He also answers emails and returns calls. That’s rare these days. Several buddies use the deer on the bag stuff and could not believe my Sweet feast brassicas were 18 to 24” tall.
Hey John, It's good to see you putting out some videos again, hope you had a great season!! I just want to share my success story and hopefully it will help validate how great of a product your selling. Now this is coming from someone who has always grown Cave in Rock in past years and overall I have been pleased with that seed but decided to try RC for the first time last year. With that being said... Let me say firsthand I'll never buy any other variety of Switch, if the option is available, besides RC Big Rock from anyone else besides Northwoods Whitetails (no John is NOT paying me to say this lol). In late February 2023 I frost seeded a 2022 food plot (1 acre approx) in Middle TN and despite the record drought last summer, I am proud to say that today its a pure 6'- 7' tall stand of Switch that is still standing strong. This fall I was fortunate to witness 3 good bucks breeding some does inside that switch which was so gratifying!! Id be lying if I said it didn't take a lot of TLC throughout the spring and summer to achieve that success but getting to witness that in the field made it all worth it!! Obviously not everyone has the same amount of growing season that we do in the SE but anyone can grow RC Big Rock and be successful too if they put the work and research in. Thanks for the great content John and I look forward to purchasing some new seed very soon!!
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 However I can not speak as highly for the HD Screen I grew down here this year and I have been meaning to contact you regarding the issues I had with it. I'm not sure what the heck happened but it failed in both areas I planted it and trust me I followed every step to a T. I'll call or email you about it later this week.
Thanks John another great informational Video. I have been planting your plot screen for the past three years and wonder if i can plant the same area with this RC switch grass ? I know you recommend only plating the screen for one year in a specific areaa
John, great stuff. What are your thoughts on planting RC with HD screening year 1. I've seen the gentleman from habitat 360 doing it with some success. I plant your HD every year I'm try to stop doing it due to the work involved in replanting every year.
Hi John. Planted RC switch last year in north central WI. Because of drought didn’t get germination until August. Only got sparse growth in some areas. Any chance I will get growth this year or should I consider reseeding? Thanks!
Will your annual screen grow in the woods with a semi thick canopy? Screening trails, property lines, things like that ? Same question with switch . Thanks
It’s just an improved upland variety. But is as tall and fast growing as we have seen. Not to mention priced better than most. It does make excellent screening.
