The best way to plant brassica food plots for deer. 

Nice work

Thanks

Good luck!!

Thanks

The further north you are the earlier in august you should try to plant. You can plant late July if there’s appreciable rain in the forecast. I shoot for planing first week of august, I’m about an hour south of Canada in New Hampshire. Hope this was helpful👍🏼

Those were planted july 21

Rich- I planted his brassicas a couple of years ago and overseeded like John mentioned. I also did not amend the soil... lots of tiny little seedlings that never matured. Last year I went much lighter and got fist sized- softball sized turnips and beets. The deer didn't eat them... but I have a plan for this year based on Johns advice. Less is more!

Only seed

We pack it in. Lawn roller is what i used this year.

Sept 3 is fine Rye over seed around the 23-25

I’m in Sullivan county and planted them on august 13th. Usually August is not as hot with cooler nights in NY. I think September might be a little late but good luck and let me know how you make out. John thinks you will be ok and he would certainly know better then me!

@@Rcol4427 I honestly was thinking the same as you.. just hold on to the seed until next year and plant only the rye in September..i still don’t have the atv back yet I will let you know how it turns out only good thing it’s still so dry so maybe a later planting will work in my favor

Only if there is a lot of early browse pressure

I use 1 1/2 We have a video from a few months back showing how we plant brassica.

Yes The seeding of brassica is the same method. If your notilling into buckwheat or thatch

It’s the line on the right between 1 and 2
