Growing the BEST Grasses for Duck Food | Duck Habitat

[@cwill114]

Guys like Martin are why Duck Commander stays so successful. Surround yourself with a good team and the rest becomes easy. Thank you for the videos. Anyone that truly loves duck hunting has a greater appreciation for the conversation aspect. Hearing about all the native grasses, and you helping to identify them… really helps the whole process.

Love this series Martin! Learning a bunch of new stuff every video. Can't wait to see some more of y'alls hunts out of that hole too

[@JMartinduckman]

👍. If y’all keep wanting em, we will keep doing them!

[@marks5757]

The Duck Commander group and Martin are THE main reason I started duck hunting. Can’t wait to do it on my private farm next year!

[@Moving-Forward777]

Sureee

[@thomascaldwell463]

It's conservation at it's finest. Thanks for another great episode Martin 👍

[@JMartinduckman]

My pleasure! We will do some more too

[@marks5757]

Thanks for the video!! Trying to convert my farm and low lying areas into a duck habitat for future hunting. These videos have been a godsend. Thanks so much!!

[@DuckCommanderOfficial]

Glad we can help!

[@FLAIR.]

Love these vids!

[@mike81399]

Can’t wait till hunting season

[@markgoins9859]

Great video ducks love moist soil plants. I agree the produce a lot mostly less insect problems and more tolerant to weed competing. I think a lot of field crops especially milo just don’t attract waterfowl like the old days.keep up the good work enjoyed it

[@hokuinsai4299]

Keep em coming Martin 😎🤙🏾

[@haydenssportscards6376]

Martin should have had his own show like jep and Jessica did

[@JMartinduckman]

Hahah thanks for that but I prefer being a team member.

[@haydenssportscards6376]

😂 thanks for the reply your personally my favorite from the show and I messaged you on Instagram my user is Hayden480 or hcarterbama so would really appreciate your response on it keep up the good on this channel and thanks again

The grass commander. Also, lookin great clean cut

[@JMartinduckman]

Thanks

[@cwstewartjr1973]

@@JMartinduckman do you spell that grass "millet?" Im here in east texas area near lake Tawakoni

[@JMartinduckman]

@@cwstewartjr1973 yep. We plant a mixture of Japanese and Browntop. Wild millet is also solid. Chances are it is known as barnyard grass in your area

[@cwstewartjr1973]

@@JMartinduckman appreciate it

[@duckbrian7973]

Hey Martin, wish you where with me every time I killed a limit in coffee weed. Idk if there’s enough finger and toes between us. That was in S. Ark btw. Pink smart weed was the dominant plant in that area also. Wish we could chat. Great series, glad you’re spending time helping people better duck areas.

[@JMartinduckman]

No doubt you can kill em in it but aside from overhead cover it just doesn’t provide much else. Other grasses will grow beneath em but can get a much better stand if they’re gone

[@duckbrian7973]

Justin Martin. Your right b/c it was always early 1st split. Then timber holes with white oaks. In the big open holes that had a lot of Johnson grass lasted till second split and that was it on the grass seeds. Idk if the seed was ate or went bad. Over all acorns made it all season. Hope you keep showing the different grasses ducks like. We even had big millet field planted and found out until it volunteers good it’s hard to keep ducks feed.

[@palmettowallstreet8449]

These are really helpful, more habitat videos please.

[@jarridjones1]

What was your spray mixture? How long after you spray, can you plant millet?

[@JMartinduckman]

Spraying Dicam. You can spray basically as soon as it dries as it is broadleaf specific

[@ianboswell8825]

Great video and very helpful! Do you have any tips on moist soil management for ducks?

[@JMartinduckman]

That’s what this mostly is. But I can get more specific if you have a question let me know

[@ianboswell8825]

@@JMartinduckman I was wondering whether or not natural food sources like millets or smartweed are better to hunt over and attract more ducks than crops like corn or rice. Thanks!

[@JMartinduckman]

Ian Boswell depends on who ask and where you are. When it’s cold, grain is hard to beat. When it’s mild I prefer moist soil.

[@dustinhillis5336]

Great video man y’all keep them coming.

[@netrhyda8761]

Very interesting! Thx Martin

[@John-in2bv]

Are these videos on Mr Phil’s land or do you manage for a club?

[@swccbakersfieldca2076]

Martin that was a good video. It’s very interesting what y’all gotta do for the ducks. Question what was the blue item around your neck?? Keep doing some videos.👍👍👍

[@JMartinduckman]

Just a gaiter to keep the dust and sun off my face

[@christopherkauffman6436]

Can you show examples of the desirable plants? Great video

[@MrKking33]

Now is that on phil land or somewhere else??

[@JMartinduckman]

Nope this is not Phil’s. It is a place I hunt often.

[@tylerellis1254]

This is a great video thanks for the information

[@chaseelliott8578]

I'm just getting into duck hunting. I am thinking about getting a call from duck commander. I'm mostly going to hunt mallards. What call do you recommend?

[@JMartinduckman]

Hmmmm loaded question here. If you’re not familiar with calling at all then the shadow or ol raspy. If you have a little experience the pro series is solid

[@jacksonseale7191]

What are you spraying on the undesireable plants?

[@JMartinduckman]

Broadleaf specific herbicide called Dicam

[@jasonwaldon7438]

How many acres do you flood here??

[@hershelnugent2784]

Put that sprayer on Phils argo and that beaver run should not be a problem.

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

Really dig this video!

[@JMartinduckman]

Thanks!

[@tybodiford1491]

As much as farmers hate pigweed... My rice field levees were full of pigweed (rice paddies were clean rice) . I mowed the pigweed covered levees after rice harvest...I killed doves with a crop full of pigweed seed and rice.

[@Dustysrewind]

Of course the Honda can make it was the driver on that one

[@JMartinduckman]

Sprayer with 300 pounds of water was issue. I knew better but it was worth a shot

[@openscience9147]

Please let me know the names of grasses you feed your ducks

[@camrot06ify]

I would love to do that in pa theres no controlled flooding

[@robertwebb2721]

How do you flood the area in front of the blind?

[@JMartinduckman]

Gravity flow water from a reservoir

[@watchusliveandstuff4393]

8 minutes in to the video i realized he has short hair now

[@cgoldman3]

Y’all flood this after?

Mr.Martin you are very smart. What is your degree in?
