Great video, John! Keep them coming!

Yeah really enjoying these videos John. Helps to make sure I’m planting correctly. Food plots seem to be my nemesis. Been a real struggle going no till fir me.

We only notill if it’s absolutely necessary. Our best plots are minimal till/ one shallow pass.

I like that sandy soil mix with sweet feast, 3 lbs radish additional, clover blend and red clover around July26 to 31st. If little to no growth add rye every 3weeks starting August 20th. Around Harrisville mi area. 5 miles off lake Huron. The field is 2 acres. A recent timber cut. Found millets grow better in summer than buckwheat

Great video!!

I planted clover and chicory in Arkansas. Not much rain and it's been very hot. The chicory has really held up and looks real good. I'm hoping my clover will come back with the rains.

Good job

Hey John yes the turkeys did a number on my plot eating the seeds, as well as the damn drought in upstate New York probably one reason my buckwheat didn’t take next season gonna try another approach and bury the seeds a little making it tougher for the turkeys too eat me out of house and home

We are finding burying seeds is more effective than the notill stuff in many cases. Better and quicker germination and the birds can’t get the seed

Maybe drag them in. In NY also. Buckwheat took but the seeds planted into it after I rolled it over didn’t. Some of the brassica came out after rain but they’re a month behind. The NWW forage mix came up but I decided to throw a bunch of rye out twice over three weeks. That is coming out good. Good luck

I planted my red clover and had rye grain from last season coming up after I had mowed. The clover didn’t seem to do very well. However we had drought too this season. Can you plant the clover into rye and have it be successful or is it better to plant with a clean plot and once clover establishes come back and over seed the rye?

The clover may pop with these rains and cool temps. Or you can frost seed into the rye in March.

My seclusion 360 has done anything and it's been 4 weeks. Sweat feast just starting to sprout at 4 weeks.

How far do you put your stand from kill plot and how do you sneak out once shooting light is up or is there not many deer still feeding on it after shooting light? Are these kill plots more effective than dumping bait cause I would rather not dump bait

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 so I would need to have some kill plots inside of woods and one big one outside of woods? I just have a 30 acre woods with ag fields all around me. I don't really have any tillable ground to plant a big plot outside of woods so I was thinking about making two 1/8 to 1/4 acre kill plots in the woods

Now ya talking keep these videos coming please

None of my rye is taking. The 3rd layer I'm just going to broadcast the test of it heavy and chalk it up to experience.

We find broadcast rye needs 2-3 good rains to get growing. Especially on our clay soils. All Our first round of rye was buried and is doing great.
