You are the man! Surgery yesterday and back to work the next day. Really appreciate the different options you provide. We are "absentee" owners so time can be at a premium. Our neighbor sent us pictures of the Egyptian wheat we put in for screening and the buckwheat we put in as soil builder. Getting anxious to get back to the property and start utilizing your fall food plot concepts. All of the "cheap summer help" (family) are requesting WHS ball caps in exchange for their labor.

I thought the reason you did buckwheat in the summer is that it's not attractive to whitetail in the summer. Why is it in your fall mix?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Because it's attractive when young in the early Fall, at a time when all the weeds and natural greens are dying or dry. It also grows quickly with minimal tillage. Not a greatbstand alone Fall crop but great within a mix 😊

[@RS-ms1bz]

Jeff, first off, thanks for the big boost brassica blend. I ordered last week and hopefully it arrives soon. Super excited to see the results. Speaking of that, with the extreme drought here in WV over the last two months, do you have any recommendations if the drought continues into early fall? I’m going to plant the brassica blend in early August if rain is forecasted, but with the buckwheat I planted, it had one rain, germinated and just withered away. Is rye the best option for dry weather? I’d rather have something green for the fall than nothing at all. Anything green would be a better attractant than the surrounding properties. Just praying this weather pattern changes soon. What a frustrating spring and summer 😫

[@almorris934]

2-4D will hurt germination of some seeds. There is a chart in the label that will tell you how long you have to wait until you can plant. 2-4D and Roundup on the first spraying and only roundup on the second a month later at seeding time is a great recipe. 2-4D and Roundup offer different modes of action. Basically a boxer that mixes up his punches.

[@tgauge44]

Hi Jeff: I have 2 food plots that I put buckwheat in earlier this summer. They are about 50% weeds, 50% buckwheat. Am I better off terminating everything with glyphosate and 2,4D right now so I have open soil going into mid August or do I hope the buckwheat out competes the weeds. The buckwheat is about 3 ft tall right now. If I terminate, should I brush hog the buckwheat down before spraying so I reach the lower growing weeds. Thanks.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Roland! I'm assuming you have a lot of open soil exposed? I would actually spray now and plant in a couple of weeks into a weed free plot. My Fall power greens mix is a lot more tolerant of minimal tillage with the radish and buckwheat taking of very fast, followed by the tillage radish with appreciable rains. Either way though...brassica blends will do great as well! I'd feel better fully neutralizing the weeds...

Hi Greg! The buckwheat IS likely the best soil builder you can by 😉 It builds soil and smothers weeds while also being easily planted into. There is no other crop or combination of seeds that can do that, unfortunately. Here is an article I wrote for the QDMA a long time ago discussing the results for soil building with buckwheat, rye and clover. www.whitetailhabitatsolutions.com/blog/whitetail-food-plot-success-on-poor-soils Sometimes folks try to over complicated things and sell seed they can call a proprietary blend just to make money.

[@joeystalin4044]

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

I believe your time frame is later than we r up here in MN. I've planted brassica for a # of years. This year I waited until the middle of May to plant wheat. I wanted a summer cover crop & the doe with fawns need it. Mid -August to late I will put in my brassica blend. This could freeze in late November. The big problem with planting too early is having your plot mature too early in the south is bulbs underground can rot & a rotten egg & turnip r one of the same. I suppose the same could be said about a radish too. U sound like u r well on your way to success. The prep is most of the work like painting a room. Good fortune to u 👏.

But I would like to make it into pasture, crop field, etc. Would it be best to just bulldoze and flatten it and then try to put something down? When it was forested the pH was 4.9 to 5.9.

[@stevoky]

I have the same conditions. Instead of tilling I just used a drag to loosen the top 1/4 inch a little then seeded. Then each year your ground will loosen up a bit as the turnips and tillage radish do their job. Oh I only had to do this the first year. And also the Buckwheat you sew next June will protect that soil and help prevent that baked crust you have when your getting that first year of spraying as well.

My clay ground keeps choking out my plots due to dry weather. Planted Buckwheat the last two years with very little success. Is there a way to build soil over time? As of now I’m just planning on planing rye heavy in the fall and then possibly tilling it in and repeating the process in the spring…

Jeff, myself and my uncle were looking to do a 3-acre food plot in Arkansas this year however the weather is looking like it's not cooling off anytime soon. We were wanting to do brassicas. Is there a deadline for brassicas?

[@johnmcmorris1170]

I commend you on putting out postings the day after surgery. I'm in central Missouri. My food plots are white clover mixes. We are having an epic hot summer and rain has been below normal. My clover is holding on but is going dormant. The long range forecast is that rain will return in August with seasonal temps. My question is, should I let my clover recover and fertilize it or would it hurt to drill in some brassica's? Let's assume that we get moisture. If the drought persist, my question is irrelevant. This is the 3rd year for my clover and I have a really good stand. Clover stays green in this part of Missouri well into November and even December depending on the weather. I wanted to mix it up a bit with some variety but I'm not sure with the heat and drought stress that this is the year to do it. Your thoughts?

Hey Jeff, should I fence my food plot so the deer cant get to it before season?

[@seanmaguire2099]

Is there anything I can spray on the plot I have of Brassica that I planted a little to early (Mid June) and have grass and Ferns coming back already, and not kill the Brassica that is growing?

Might be time for Dylan to be in front of the camera while you rest. Glad your starting to feel better, time for some R&R for you Jeff.

I'm resting for a couple of days at least 😊 Thanks a lot for thr concern guys! Doing my best to stay immobile. Ha

If all else fails, frost seed several hundreds of pounds of corn 2 days before opening day. It's hard to keep the deer from eating your seed but im sure you'll find a way. 😂😂😂
