How to Manage Fall Food Plots for Deer | Land Management Part 5 (823)

[@j_saxon_9754]

Love your content, between you and Jeff Sturgis I completely reinvented my hunting strategies in all fields. As a land owner I personally tend to follow your land management content mostly as it is more relatable to my east Texas land then northern deer management practices/content. However when ever people ask me how I advanced my hunting edge and property I tell them to look into you, Jeff Sturgis, and Bill Winke!

Great info

Do you put corn and soy bean in your food plots?

[@stevebrown3408]

Put out a clover this spring and weeds took it over but been wanting to start/try no till . want to spray roundup couple times and throw clover seeds then roll the weeds down over the seeds . I'm in NE Ar. Will this work if so when should I start spraying ?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Should only need to spray once and if the seeds are broadcast just before a rain, there's no need to roll.

@@GrowingDeerTV Thanks

[@pdaddy2740]

I have a spot on top of the ridge I’ve been told by other who have planted to broadcast and then mow/ brush hog over top so it holds moisture, should I do this or just burn it all then plant?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Having dead vegetation as a mulch will help hold moisture.

@@GrowingDeerTV awesome, I appreciate your videos especially being located in Branson West I relate almost perfectly to yall hunting situation.

[@RandyNickerson]

I really appreciate these videos and follow Dr Woods suggestions. However, up until 5-10 yrs ago I constantly heard that having the correct seed depth was critical. Now that blends are the hot new item, nobody ever talks about seed depth. Was I being misled 5-10 yrs ago?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Randy - Farmers, ag schools, etc., have learned a lot during the past few years. I'm more concerned about planting most species of forage crops too deep than I am about being too shallow.

[@damagedbodies]

i recently did my first plot and was curios on if any of them are annuals. like will i have to replant next year? i know sorghum, oats, radish, squash and some others were in the mix.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Sorghum, oats, and radishes are all annuals. It's interesting to plant sorghum (a warm season crop) and oats (a cool season crop) at the same time.

[@craigkowalczyk3516]

Only thing about blends is all the seeds in them need to be planted at different times. Let’s just say in the north you don’t want to be planting your brassicas at the same time as your beans or rye or whatever. So to say blends are the way to go is miss leading people.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Craig - I don't know anyone (food plotter or production farmer) that plants blends at different time. Almost all warm season forage species do great when planted when the soil temperature is 60 degrees at 9am at 2" deep (the root zone) and fall or cool season forage crops do well when planted 45 to 60 days before the first frost and when there's ample soil moisture and/or rain in the forecast. I've been planting blends (many species of seed at the same time) for 20+ years and we frequently show successes from other folks planting blends on this channel.
