Food Plots and Soil Health Ask Me Anything

[@McClureOutdoor]

Always great to hear Keith and Grant discuss food plots!

I will attend these as often as you host them. Thanks, good data, dig the interaction.

Thanks guys, great podcast

If you can hold it until the spring, it will be a lot better - the summer species in that mix will not perform well going into the fall

I suppose they could be dining on my fine organic plants. And another thing ...these/tics are nearly microscopic .about/time I locate one I can reach,the darn things leap several feet.Dennis

Dogmatic no-tillers drive me nuts. There is a place for soil disturbance, just not every year. I had to roll my eyes when he said running a harrow over residue to get seeds shaken to the ground was too much disturbance. Cattle disturb the soil. Their hooves are specifically designed to trample plants, seeds, and manure into the soil in a natural "tilling" action. So saying that any tool that touches the soil is bad is pretty over the top.

Perfect timing...where are the tiny tics coming from over here 5 miles south of westy ks...they bite hard and are impossible/to control to date. Been here several months...

I hate glyphosate resistant pig weeds in KS but I have noticed one thing is they are getting browsed by deer, I’m using generic Liberty herbicide to control it young!

@@Dougcusick lot of animals consume red rooted pigweed and lambsquarter too so if they growing I figure they not a total waste. Dennis

I wouldn’t plant a food plot without a soil test and a utilization cage in each plot

What's become of Dale Strickler?

[@outlander330cc]

I think I remember hearing he left Green Cover to pursue other ventures. It was on good terms as far as I know but I'm pretty sure he's not there anymore.

[@GreenCoverSeed]

Dale is now doing consulting work at his company Regenerative Wisdom www.regenerativewisdom.com/

My question is, I have a bag of summer release blend left over from spring. Should I spread this for fall along with my winter mix or hold it until next spring? Thanks for the help!

I doubt prairie chicken consume them. Dennis
