MONO CROP OR MIXES??? 10X THE FOOD IN UR DEER HUNTING FOOD PLOTS HD 1080p 

Wes, I totally agree, we tried the spring release system for a few years with little or no success. We currently plant corn and soybeans in the spring and have alfalfa and clover in other areas along with the beans and corn. We plant our fall plots into the corn and beans and spray and till up a few smaller plots in addition. This system has worked well for us and saved us a lot of time and money. We sold our no till this year. Thanks for sharing, we have been doing this a few years and it has been working well for us. Bob

Now we're talking wes this is the info that makes u stand out from the rest. Enjoyed the video thanks

Great scientific information as well as actual experiments. Wes, you are the man and we appreciate you! By far the best explanation on why not to use Spring/Summer blends!!

As always enjoy the videos. I've been doing strictly no till the past 5 years now. I am by no means a farmer or have the background knowledge that you have. I've used a drill and crimper scenario as well as just spraying but never disc this particular field. I'll be the first to tell you that it is extremely hard to combat weeds. That seed bank is no joke. I've had a couple great smother crops and then plant and to my surprise the weeds will pop up in he same rows as the crops. I tried soybeans this year. Sprayed 2 times to kill everything in the field. Fertilize and lime based on a soil test and when I checked it out today there are weeds everywhere again. Good thing it's a monoculture of RR beans. They seem to be really stunted growth wise with the weed competition so hopefully spraying them will free em up. Good luck to ya

Thanks Wes, as always great information! I enjoy your channel and am learning a lot from you. I watch your videos so much that my wife can now do a Wes impersonation of your southern accent :). We live so far north our neighbors are in Canada so there's not any southern drawl up here. Appreciate you Wes!

Thanks, if I do it, October will be the month

We've seen Great results interseeding our corn. Shut off every 3rd row on the planter. So you end up with 2 rows at 30 inches and then a 60 inch gap before the next 2 rows. We wait till after our first spraying before interseeding our mixes. Usually, corn is about a foot or more tall when we do it. The skip rows open up the canopy enough to grow everything underneath. We up the population on the corn to still give us 30,000 with the other rows shut off. We have average yields over 200 bushel per acre doing it this way.

Balanced take. Thanks partner.

Wes we are on the same page. I’m doing both at separate areas. Mono plots and mixes as well as interseeding into grains. I think a bunch of plotting is learning. Trial and error. I like the stewardship part of the release program and how it doesn’t have the input costs, but that drill! I’ve said it before if a manufacturer can come up with a small drill with a price point around 3g they could sell them like crazy! For now I will continue to learn while experimenting with new blends and keeping places for the old standby corn and bean plots. I also want to experiment with winter peas and pumpkins/gourds/melons. Good video my friend!

There are mixes that work, but not most, I like Rotating right crop at the right time and alway keep the soil covered.

Another great video sir thank you

Makes a lot of sense, I’m going to have to give it a try in my sorghum plot this fall

Never even thought about it this way,,Definitely makes good sense to me. Thanks for the info! Im gonna try this in my farm Been struggling over last 3 years to get a good program going. But of course dry weather hasn’t helped either🤦‍♂️

Utilizing the "Release Process" with mixes is fraught with potential failure on many different levels. Last year for my KY farm, I sprayed the field three times throughout the spring/summer to eliminate all weeds and grasses. Then for the fall planting, I no till drilled cereal grain and it came in clean and looked great. For year two, you have to wait until the "Dough" stage to crimp which, according to the mighty Google is the end of June in Kentucky. I booked my vacation for the end of June and traveled down to my farm to discover that I was past the dough stage and already had hardened seed heads on the grain. It turns out the plant cycle of cereal grain is dependent on many things, including rain, for which we had a lot of and served to move up the life cycle of the grain. I'm not sure of the best method to address this situation since I will soon have an early crop of volunteer cereal grain.

Thanks Wes, perfect topic for the question I have. I’m planting alfalfa this year, I was thinking about over seeding tillage radish into it late September or early October, your thoughts

Great topic Wes! I’m doing my my beans and corn this year just like you said bc of previous videos. 1 question for you is what do you think about sorghum? Attractive? Good food source?

I want to add crimson clover this fall. I'm in Northern Ny. When should I plant ? My normal fall food plots are normally planted the last week of July

I’m wanting to start a perennial clover plot in a quarter acre food plot that I currently have buckwheat and summer annual clovers in. It has no weeds and great seed to soil contact opportunities. Should I just broadcast my perennial clovers in it this fall?

My prized, food plot perimeter pumpkin vines were all eaten this year 😢

Wes can I get the info on coming to KY on a hunt at your outfit plz ? Thx buddy
