How To Plant The Best Food Plot: Planting Green | Part 1 (706) 

Wonderful video but I especially appreciate your wrap-up on this one. Your Memorial Day message and devotional are really inspirational. What a channel; we can nerd out on food plots and fill the spiritual tank a little bit too! Thanks for what you do!

Best show on you tube! Thx growing deer team for all the videos!

Thank you for the support for our military! It is great to see people supporting our great nation! Semper Fi!

You’ve changed the way I look at doing food plots, and the message always of our creator, lord and savior is always uplifting, thank you for what you do!

We only plant fall crops in the MS delta. Could we still use this method every September or October? Also, can you broadcast seed then crimp?

Another great video thank you for sharing. I just got a genesis seeder and planning on planting the summer blend followed by the fall blend. Hopefully you have time to answer a few questions to help me get started. 1) What settings do you set the gear box and gate opening? 2) I noticed that your fall rye grows quite thick. The fall blend only has 10 lbs per acre. Do you have to add any to get your results? 3) Do you only do 1 pass with the genesis or sometimes do another pass perpendicular. Thank you

from a veteran to you Dr. Woods; thank you for honoring the fallen comrades in order to keep America great. Thank you .

Dr. Woods, I just joined a hunt club here in Alabama that plows all it's food plots. I'd like to convert them to your system. How can I convert one of their plots to this system as an example to convince them there is a better way? Should I start with a fall crop or a spring crop? Where can I order a blend that would work here?

Thank you Grant.

So basically at one time your plots looked like nothing but a gravel bed. Over the years, how many inches of soil do you think you have created over some of your older plots?

Grant what do I do after I do a prescribed burn on my pasture land? How long do I have to wait after and what would be the next process? Do I have to fertilize or treat before using a no drill till and seed? Do I do that in early summer right when the grasses die? I am pretty close to you in Eastern Oklahoma, just 45 mins from Fort Smith, AK. What would be a good blend to plant?

i love hunting whitetails like the next guy but I really wanted to take my plots to a new level and not just average. These videos have really helped me along to get to the "next level"...Thank you!!

Can you broadcast and roll it instead?

where did you get your sun hat?

We crimped our Fall Release food plots last week. Looks like we got a good kill on the cereal rye and crimson clover, but not so much on the winter wheat and white clover. Is this something we should be concerned about?

Dr. Grant, I purchased a small 70 acre parcel and have been watching your videos and learned a lot. We did a cut on about 15 acres of it and left behind about 3 stems per acre (mostly oaks). I plan to expand the plot to what the topography will allow (hopefully at least 2 acres). I have planted a screening blend (egyption wheat, sorghum) along the perimeter of the cut to allow access on both sides given the wind direction. For the plot, what's your thoughts on using a seed dropper that works in conjunction with a disc? I was hoping by utilizing this method the front disc row would act similar to a no-till by breaking the tuff and the seed would then be dropped in with the second row of discs covering the seed. There are some brands in the market that sell this setup which is more economical than the larger no-till drills. I would think with these being smaller setups, I would get enough of the tuff to break open without disturbing the soil enough to allow any erosion, but also exposing the soil enough to get that seed to soil contact. Always appreciate your opinion. Thanks and God Bless!

Simply amazing video...... Thanks so much!!!! 👍

Love the idea, and am currently practicing what you preach. However I have a couple concerns with the system. First, as hunting is my primary focus I don't personally believe that you can beat a lone standing bean field or even corn for draw. Always having a blend with a bunch of different ones I don't believe will have the draw power of the single crop. May be a good experiment for you though. Secondly, I worry about compaction over time with no tillage. I've seen some long term videos where that could become an issue over a long term as well. I'm not sure if it's soil specific or what but a definite concern in some areas. Thanks for the videos

Hi Grant. I'm moving to Stockdale Texas an hour from San Antonio. We bought 14 acres. Right now where I want to use your methods to create food plots, it's all weeds. What the step, before Part 1, when I have to kill weeds and get the green mulch growing so I can then "plant green" and crimp? Garry.

Another outstanding video from the best team on the tube! Thanks for your expertise and especially for your testimony and witness over all these years! Best blessings to you and all yours at Growing Deer!

God bless

Would you mind sharing your gear and seed gate settings on your drill while planting your spring and fall mixes?

Can you crimp right after seeding or do you need to wait a week?

Thanks Grant for sharing again your planting process. Working down here in the piney woods of southeast Texas to duplicate Growing Green.

Great video Grant.

Great stuff. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you

Great video! 👍
