BEST FOOD PLOT SCREEN OPTIONS

[@StevenSmith-7t391]

As a former corn breeder l can appreciate your efforts on testing and research. I don’t know of any other seed company that provides the types of information you provide. Great job! Thanks John.

Very few I think

[@jasonscottb2465]

Your HD Screen works great here in middle Tn. In rocky ground. Some of the best easy to follow instructions.

What is a good soil builder to plant this spring

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

We want everyone to have success

@@Gary-hd9eg im using for the second year. Whitetail Driven Solutions south blend for soil builder. Poor ass mountain dirt. Working good.

I did all my planting and got my HD Screen planted last weekend, plus RC Big Rock switch! Really excited to see it grow. I followed the instruction sheet. Watched the Northwoods video on planting it. But I think my disc covered it too deep. Might have to do over. But make a chain link fence drag to go over it and drag it not disc it in. Thank goodness time is on my side with the HD Screen and soil temps. Great videos John thanks! 👍

I plan on using HD screen on my property 1/4 mile . I have everything I need . Just warm soil and dry soil after the rain. I appreciate your efforts and knowledge!

Mid-Michigan here. We planted HD screen for the first time last year and had a massive fall storm come through our area. 90mph straight winds, trees down everywhere. I had several fruit trees break off right at the ground. The HD screen was bent over at quite an angle and I thought it was a goner. A couple weeks later most of it was standing back tall again. We ordered more this year for other areas of the property as well. Great, very resilient screen.

I planted last year in a hard drought year in KS. I can't believe that some of the plants were over 10' tall, when our native big bluestem didn't even put out a seed head because of the drought. Highly recommended

[@28mrdetroit]

Planted mine this weekend! Northern Lower Michigan here.

I planted willows into a natural fence i made by cutting down 15 to 20 ft pine trees. Put the cuttings into the branches. Thinking about mixing a 1/3 rate of hd screen with a full rate of switch grass. Around the pines and making a browse bedding pocket. Have a irrigation method with in 75 ft of a pond.

[@timhatfield6367]

Your HD screen worked great last year for me, I planted 10ft ×660ft. Along the shaded side of my now 3 year old switch to get going. Had lots and lots of daytime deer,turkey,pheasant and Bob white quail. Found turkey nest with 15 eggs out where it used to be ag just a couple years ago. Yesterday I even got to see all hatched except one, even got a good look at momma hen with lots of chick's following her. Was awesome to see.

Thanks john

[@jakesmith6337]

What do you do with the HD plot screen in the spring? Can you re-plant right into the old stalks ? Do you burn it off ? ?? Thanks Jake Smith in southern Wisconsin

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

You can burn it or what we do is mow it with a brush cutter or a riding lawnmower, a few passes and then till once and replant. But you can’t plant it more than three years in a row in the same spot before you see diminishing results.

[@johnhardin5168]

This will be my 4th year with a screen product along a road I am trying to screen from road hunters. I watched one of your videos and you said the soil couldn’t take 2-3 years of screening in the same spot. I’ve not used any fertilizer any year yet and have grown 10-12 foot screens each year. This may be the year it fails. It’s already planted so that’s that this year. What can I alternate between years and how many years do I swap something out before replanting your HD screen product. What’s the rotation and what else can I use in place of the HD screen?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Rotate with. Soil builder and an annual clover You should really try some fertilizer

[@whitetailsup760]

My HD screen worked great but it’s hell on a bush hog

[@tjsfarmandfamily]

I love the HD screen. My only issue is once it turns brown, it's mostly stalks down low. I may need to go a little wider. My plan for this year was to intermix Egyptian wheat with it. I'll be ordering soon. Would you recommend that. Soil is on the wetter side of the spectrum but the HD screen still grows well. Thank.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Wider 15-18 then

[@scottpulver4920]

I can’t wait to get my seed(hopefully by the 5th) never tried switchgrass or the HD screen.

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

How tall will it get early to mid July planting. My soil still 55 degrees in mornings.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Probably 10 feet Long of cold soils yet I tilled mine to help speed up the process

[@jasonweigle3624]

Well.....I ordered 6 bags of Egyptian wheat when you were sold out of HD screen.....which I used in the past.....so I guess I screwed up. Already planted it...ughh

[@stevebrown3408]

Thank you , hunt area is small wooded . Plots are small , shaded area. Tried most of you talked about , either did not grow are was to short to help ? Any ideas ?

Do you see that deer like to eat the grain sorghum in your food plots? Any particlular kind of grain sorghum?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Yes they do We are trying 3 varieties to see which one they like betger
