NutriCrave vs. Field Corn Food Plot (part 1)

[@billymoad]

Food plots looking good bud deer going to love them 😂

[@CentralMississippiWhitetail]

Been waiting on some videos. Good stuff

[@stevegermain1222]

Yes sir

[@timmytuffy5344]

I just heard Don Higgins say in a recent podcast if you plant the nutricrave next to other corn it will cross pollinate and you won’t get as good of results .

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

I head that too. I’m sure the corn a couple rows over won’t be affected but for sure the first 2-3 rows may have some cross pollination.

[@patrothwell9138]

Great video u always have Awesome food plot videos. Bring on the soybeans Then Brassicas videos

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

Yes, a lot more corn & soybean videos will be out in the next couple weeks.

[@markst.martinii9635]

Always love the food plot videos man, question for you. I don’t know anything about planting corn, but what is the point or reason for cultivating around the corn again?

[@clarkwheeler8764]

Looks like you had almost NO critter damage when the corn was coming up--just got lucky or WHAT?

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

Got lucky. I didn’t have many issues this year with cranes and turkeys pulling out the corn in these plots.

[@brushcrawler8612]

Over the winter, this experiment, from last year, yielded decisive results. Why bother with the nutri crave when the deer basically ignore it for field corn?

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

I wouldn’t say they ignored it. They ate it about the same as the field corn. Supposedly the NutriCrave gains a lot of its nutrients late in the dry down phase. Last yr was 108 NutriCrave and was planted mid-late May. This is 100 day planted early May so it should have plenty of time to dry down and we’ll see if that has a difference.

[@ashton3027]

How wide are your rows? And have you tried not spraying anything and then just cultivating before

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

38in rows. In the past we did a few little sections of no spray only cultivating and it turned out good too. But definitely a little weedy in the row near the plant.

[@14mgruber]

Use warrant as a pre and you won't have to cultivate nearly as often

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

Both these stands of corn we only cultivated twice. Some other areas I sprayed simazine a little heavier we didn’t need to cultivate at all. I’m pretty happy with the control I’m able to get using simazine compared to years of not putting down a pre.

[@14mgruber]

@wisconsinwhitetail9744 glad it works, I'm in central Wisconsin and have the same issues with water hemp pigweed and don't have a weed where I sprayed but the fall plot I didn't spray is full of them until I sprayed to get ready for fall plots

[@jordanredeker6654]

You should add a little dicamba with your roundup and you wouldn’t have a weed left in your plots! Lol
