Excellent info. Thanks for explaining it so thoroughly. Can’t wait for spring

[@rockarolla4756]

This is why I only buy from Northwoods Whitetail. Always very informative videos, always ready to answer any questions you may have over the phone or via email. Keep on keeping on!

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks Great customers like you keep this going!!

[@joecarty1588]

Thanks for your always informative videos. Nice simple explanation. I became familiar with your seeds thru WHS a couple years ago and will continue to buy YOUR seeds. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put in.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks Good luck planting!

[@robertstockton2036]

That you for all your excellent video's. I will be buying my seed from you this year.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks

John, just received my shipment of seed and a few questions come to mind. With the warm weather right now, my plots are pretty much snow free. Is it too early to frost seed? Also, do you see any harm in running the seed over with my Packermaxx.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

I like a lawn roller. There is very little contact with some of those big groove cultipackers. Look at all the space between the ribs. Lawn roller is 100% contact. But in a frost seeding situation, you don’t need to use anything. I’m still waiting until March here.

[@markst.martinii9635]

Great video. We were gonna try Hot Chic, and now we’re absolutely using Seclusion 360. Thank you for the info

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

I think it’s important for folks to understand what they are buying and planting. That may be a good mix, but it’s not something I’d plant or sell.

[@Alianderfarm]

Very compelling presentation. You have convinced me. I now feel ripped off thinking about some seed bags I have in the garage.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Sorry about that…. But this is just our perspective on why we choose what we choose and why we avoid what should be avoided.

[@whitetailsup760]

Great info

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jon

[@miket7569]

Thanks John. Looking forward to the next videos where you talk about how to plant, care for, and maintain a clover plot. In the past I have planted only buckwheat and then your fall seed mixes in a small 1/8-1/4 acre food plot, but it just seams to be to shady in that small of an area to get it to grow well. I am able to get buckwheat to grow there, but it is very small is size compared to the large 1 acre plot I have on a different area property. I am thinking clover would be best in this small plot?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Seclusion may work well If it can get 2/3 day sun. Soil quality will also be a big factor

[@sandych33ks1]

Great video and thank you. Why do you sell clover blends. I don't want chicory in my clover. Do you sell straight clover ?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Yes We have a 4 clover blend with out chicory

[@HandgunnerMike]

I have property in north central Iowa and planted RC big rock switchgrass three years ago in two different locations. Sprayed one location with roundup in early May, thinking I was safe! Guess which one germinated? I had to replant the sprayed section. Lesson learned!

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Man that sucks….. It’s such a gamble to spray round up once the seed hit the ground. It’s just bad advice. Very unfortunate.

[@travissmith-wz5nc]

That clover / chicory blend with no coated seed looks great. 👌. Twice as much seed as antler king or whitetail institute. Also Glad no vetch or alfalfa in it. Seems like farmers grow alfalfa with red clover not white clovers.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks Travis. Ya, a lot more seed for less money. And ours grows just fine and the deer love it. WIN-WIN for sure!!

[@benjaminprout2018]

I'm taking over 6 acres of open farm land with heavy clay soil. Should I start with red clover and chicory for a couple seasons? I want to frost seed due to not owning big ag equipment. I'm in central Michigan

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Red would be a great start. You can add chicory as well. Get a soil test done and get it close. We will have liquid products soon that can help.

[@dusty4208]

Love your products. Just placed another order. I have pretty Sandy soil and I cleared a 1/4 acre of trees in the woods to create a kill plot. After a couple years of Lime and fertilizers the entire left half of the plot is still very sparse (planted your clover chicory blend) and the other half comes in thick. Thinking of using your chicory blend (just ordered) to try to frost seed and fill in the left side. What are your thoughts? The plot gets even, and good light. The woods are mature, mostly hardwood high canopy.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

I’d pull a soil test first to see what’s going on.

[@dusty4208]

Ive done that 2 years in a row and always need more Lime. Hoping at some point the PH gets right. I know it takes time @@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663

[@cmk1776]

Can you frost seed your forbs and forage mix?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Yes you can Make sure the area is clean first

[@user-rv1nh2ci6k]

Seclusion 360. What herbicide do you recommend spraying on chicory?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Clethodim for grass

[@giovanni1169]

Hi. Will be headed to our property the weekend of feb 17-18. Is that too early to frost seed your clover blend. Location southeast ny state. Thanks. This is just for some bare-spots on a current plot.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

If you think you are going to get another dose of cold weather you can wait yet. This weather is crazy warm for most places this time of year (northern states) but I am sure we are not done with the cold yet.

[@chadhouser973]

You don’t need to inoculate the clover seed with a coating?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

No Ours is a light almost powder type inoculant. It’s been that way for years and works fine for us.

[@aarongoeppner413]

So you can frost seed chicory??

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Yes We have many times

[@aarongoeppner413]

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 awesome!!!! I’ll be ordering some more seclusion 360!!
