Thanks jake
Hearing your current temperatures in early June kind of shocked me! I'm in Texas and we are hitting 97 today. We can't plant clover at this time. It just simply won't make it. I'm going to try seclusion this year on a few spots with light sandy soil. Can't wait to see all the activity it will get.
Thanks John
I feel like u r playing chess and I’m playing checkers. 🤞 planting into some really sandy soil. Someday if I watch enough videos I’m hoping to play chess as well. Thanks

Sandy Soil is something many KZread personalities/hunting personalities don’t deal with. We have a few properties we deal with it on so we actually can relate.

You are correct! You are one of the few that directly discuss the sandy soil. After watching your videos over the last couple years I’ve had better success with your advice on techniques and seed choice. So thanks!
Another quality video John. What do you use for a drag to cover the Soil Builder seed?

Great plot ideas. We’ve been wet in Western Wisconsin. How late can I go to plant HD screen do you think. I have a nice rye stand that I mowed last week. Also what would happen if I just continued mowing the rye until end of August and then let it go or would it be better to disc the rye and replant in September with more rye? Would fall crimson clover be a good addition to the rye if planted in September as well? Looking forward to your podcast.

Late June for the screen You can let the rye go and terminate it in August
Love the name Summer Plow Down. Will this be an actual mix we can purchase or is it just spreading soil builder and then crimson clover?

It’s more of the process than a blend. Buckwheat can even be a summer plow down
I planted your soil builder topped w crimson on sandy ground May 25, it’s looking good. How would you suggest I plant my fall plots without tilling? I have a bush hog and small no till drill. Great video. Thank you. I’m not against tilling; just would rather not because of the sand.

If you have a true no tilll drill Spray to kill Drill a week later Then roll what’s left
Is there a sprayer you prefer or feel is best? Bought a Fimco and been having trouble ever since

I have rye that is 5-6 ft tall with very little to no weeds. Would it be better to cut it now or leave it tall until late July when I get the area ready for the fall food plots? Just wondering about root growth if I cut now.

I’m wondering the same. I can’t decide if I need to leave it until the fall when I’m ready to plant or what.

@@craigweinmann320 I have 5 plots of rye that went to seed and I mowed all but one. It’s starts the decomposition process and feeds birds and ever deer will eat the grain. I’m now following up with my summer plots. Western Illinois.
