On my property i plan to put 7 or 8 one acre food plots everywhere.
i need a little advice.
Anny sugguestions on…
What i should plant?
What brand food plots?
Which should be planted in the spring, and which should be planted in the fall?
any advice will help!
ok i plant fall only mid-july to early august i plant broad leaf stuff turnips rape brassica and for the 1st time this year peas i am not brand particular but have had excellant luck with biologic maximum and the new zealand stuff but do have some evolved harvest stuff too to try this year used tecomate last year with pretty good luck biggest thing is soil prep lime and fertilizer and rain look closely at the labels and watch for inert matter other seed and weed seed numbers anything over 2% on these is unacceptable in my book you should get alot of input from others on this as i am guessing we are all still trying to perfect this
In my opinion soil prep is most important. Have a soil test done by a lab. PH is critical. Lime and or fertilizer may be needed,
thats another question. where do i send my soil to?
I sent mine to Mossy Oak Biologic and was happy with the results. Cost was $7.50.
We plant according to what deer need at different times of the year, spring/summer/early fall = proteins are what deer crave, clovers, chicory, soybeans, cow peas, legumes. Fall/winter = carbohydrates are what they crave, corn, cereal grains, brassicas, soybean pods.
Any of your local co-ops that have an agronomy department will be able to run soil tests too.
