Yeah, I chucked 150 lbs of winter wheat and winter rye on a new property the last week of Sept. In NY. All October I had deer on it and shot a nice buck mid Nov over it. This year I had time and i have several great food plots growing, but in my mind I keep thinking I got all I wanted out of a fall foodplot last year at 1/10 of the cost and work.

Got my last plot version 2.1 in two and half weeks ago in northern Wv. Thinking about walking through this weekend and adding buckwheat and tillage turnips just too see what it does and how it responds. Interestingly enough a dirt plot with nothing on it has been blanketed with deer tracks. This year has been different and I’ve stayed away from the property and it checked cameras as much as past years for various reasons and the one watching the plot shows a nice deer population using the plot daily. Funny thing is when it was just dirt is the first bucks I have ever had on the plot. Hopefully things will produce well and this season will be great

Think I'm going to be going heavier on rye this year due to such dry conditions all year.

Hi Jeff, I'm in southern Maryland and getting the Brassica (from your store) out in 2 days (on 24 Aug). We're getting rain forecasted several days. We've not had much rain up until now. Will plant Rye (from your store) out in the next week or two.

I'm having to wait because we had a heat wave just hit with no rain in the forecast. North western Kentucky.

Perfect timing ! Ty 👍🏻🦌🇺🇸

I tried to do the buckwheat method but deer annihilated it. I lightly tilled, seeded, fertilized, sprayed plot start and prayed on aug 10th. Everything is booming and had top 3 of biggest bucks since 1988 show up on the 22th eating the tinder sprouts. This dude is a giant 10pt at least 24" wide, 12in g2/3's.

Nice. That 10 pointer sounds like a real bruiser. How much do you figure he weighs? My plots haven't germinated yet. I seeded early august because there was no rain in July right before rain was in the forecast but we only got 6/10 of an inch and then a 1/10 or 2 a couple days later. Then it was dry for almost 2 weeks. I am hoping it will come up in the spring. If not I will just reseed the alfa rack seed mix in the spring.

Awesome information 🌧☘👍🏼

I use winter wheat up here in canada. It's about the only thing that seems to stay green into November

I threw down 4 different types of clover last weekend and it’s growing good I’m puttin a couple different things in my plot for variety but also a test because it is my first foodplot I just want to see what they like and I want to establish clover for the spring for my bucks and pregnant does

After the soybean harvest in mid Missouri October ,some cast off beans re grew and made bean sprouts 2-3 inches high and the deer loved it..I wonder if would be worth planting Beans just for sprouts like winter wheat

Hi Jeff love your videos, I've learned so much! I recently moved to a home that is sort of a pass through and was wondering if you had any suggestions for specific crops for a food plot next year? I'm only on 6 acres about 4 is partially wood. CRP. I know ypu are a busy many any feedback is appreciated, thanks take care!

I brush cut and tilled by hand 2 plot areas and a long strip that curves through between them. Don't have the equipment to really do it properly right now so I seeded with a hand seeder and broadcast the seed and raked the soil over it in the plots. Then broadcast wheat on the strip between them. Probably go back and frost seed the wheat again. All of it was done early August. Rain was in the forecast and we only got half an inch or a little more just after. Then we got another shot of rain a week later and we just had approximately half an inch more rain and sadly it has been so dry this summer that I still don't see much germination. Alfa alfa, clover and chicory in the plots haven't had enough moisture to germ. It's not all bad though. At least I can reseed in the spring and be ready to go when the moisture is there and reseed maybe in July if there is rain. Still haven't done a soil test but I can tell a little lime and nitrogen wouldn't hurt.

Wisconsin needs some rain bad!

Seeded canola in northern Canada it’s gold here deer, elk, moose will feed on it if late seeded in august! Also going to top dress with winter rye soon looking good.

Hey Jeff! Great info as always. I have one quick question. I have a new property that I am now managing and have been doing an inventory this year. It seems as though there is a large difference in buck to doe ratio. I have about 3 bucks to ever one doe I have seen. I know it is early in the season and that is likely to change during the rut, but was curious if this is something I should be concerned about, or is this as good of a thing as it appears? Thank you in advance. I always appreciate your input.

Hi Jeff, here in southern Indiana we had the ground all ready for planting brassica during Mid August but haven’t had any rain in the forecast for the past week or so. With the very hot weather we’ve been having we were scared to plant anything right now. The frost date is always usually right around the middle of October. Do you think it would be alright to wait another week or so and pray for some rain to come in and plant the brassica or plant something else?

Did you say you can put beans or peas in brassica plots? Another Question real quick I sprayed and did everything correct and this quackgrass came up quick and now its almost taking over my plot I dont want to spray a grass killer on it so i was thinking to mow it down to stunt because the brassicas are still small? any thoughts

when you spray Clethodim for the grasses, do you need to add a surfactant like a crop oil concentrate, or will it still be effective without the added surfactant recommendations? I am trying to do a wheat food plot that is also mixed with clover seed. In the spring, am I understanding that spraying with the Clethodim will kill the wheat and rye, but leave the clover safe and unaffected?

I always use Rye for a filler Jeff, never tried the tillage radish after my august barrasica planting, do you have just a stand alone tillage radish seed variety on your website?

Hey Jeff, would it still be appropriate to use your fall power greens blend here in central Wisconsin, Sauk County area? I have plenty of winter rye at the ready to spruce it up later but would like to get some other stuff in there. Luckily im not far from Viroqua or Praire de Chien. Thanks in advance.

If I were to use well water to fill my tank sprayer to kill the weeds, will ammonium sulfate work, so the well water won’t dilute or neutralize the glyphosate and if so, how much ammonium sulfate do I use?

I live in sc and planning to fertilize and new cut field anything you recommend me doing ?

I just planted some brassicas in western Kentucky, it looks like no rain and 100 degree days . How long will the seed lay before it will not germinate

Is it a good thing that all my bucks are showing up now, and it seems like they’re pushing out the does and fawns

So jeff can you broadcast oats? People tell me they won't germinate

I am a professional procrastinator. Im in central mn and im wondering if its even worth to plant anything right now because of the rain situation?

Hey Jeff great info. Im in NY and want to establish a clover plot for next year. I want to use rye as a cover crop. How many #s per acre would you spread of each? Also should I layer the rye and put more out the end of sept. or will that choke out the clover.

Im in Roanoke area. I had great luck last year spreading on Sept 21. I had deer all over it during October and first week of November. So it depends if you bowhunt or not. If not, plant a lil later. Id say two or three weeks before u want to hunt. I like the idea of Jeff's rye layering based on my experience last year. It was great for a month or so, then the attraction just wasnt there. I was also planting ground that eventually gets super wet and I only fertilzed about half the recommended rate.

I'm in Oklahoma and wanting to get a clover stand going, what ratio of seed would you recommend to mix if I'm mixing with rye or oats? Want to provide cover crop without the rye overtaking and choking the clover out. I saw in one of your videos it was a good idea to plant them together but wasn't sure the best way. BTW your videos are awesome
