Inside class followed by outside real field demonstration is the perfect method for teaching me.

Thanks Not always an option with out all the fancy equipment and staff. But we are trying 😉

Thanks for another good video John. I use your sweet feast brassica blend here every year in Western New York and there is nothing that even comes close. I was excited when you started your KZread channel, it doesn't disappoint.

Thanks Jakes!!

Good timing did this last Thursday. Used the clover chicory and added extra chicory and some red clover. It ended up getting 3 inches of snow on top of it on Friday. Hoping to do what jake elinger did were preninels and chicory becoming back bone of property.

You could but back the seeding rate down a bunch . Like 30 pounds per acre. But really like grains. As they let more sun in

Still have over a foot of snow here in Vermont, no frost seeding here, probably not till maybe May. Northwoods seed waiting patiently lol

Long distance food plotter. Sadly. So I need a perennial fence around a 8ac plot and about a 5ac plot. I have some seed for spring planting of soybean and clovers/alfalfa. So what seed would you use end of August to seed into the beans in southern Ohio? Thank you. Great job. I will also be seeding in eastern NY. Keep up the great work.

Short season brassica in some Rye and radishes in the rest

I planted your chicory clover blend last year with oats. It’s coming up a little thin with some weeds. I was going to lightly top seed before it rained so see if that helps. Should i fertilize with 6-24-24 right now? Also, can I spray with anything or will that kill the chicory? I don’t have a great mower that easily available.

You can seed more soon Imox should take care of weeds try a small test area first I’d rather mow it though

Planted the clover/Chicory blend last fall, but didn't get a great take. I believe the area did not get enough moisture. Should I over seed the area again with the frost seed method or would I have better luck reseeding with the oats later this spring. Thanks

John - I just received your soil builder and crimson clover seed. Is it too early to plant that this weekend? Am planning to broadcast over a relatively bare former brassica food plot and then cultipack it. Plan is to terminate the soil builder mix in August for a fall food plot. Recent soil sample showed OM of 2.0-3.3. I'm in West Michigan. Thanks!

Way to early May have to scratch up ten plot to get soil builder bigger seeds covered Look at early to mid May pending soil temp

Ok So my PH is a bit lower than I would like to see. My thought is to spary plot then Till the ground and plant mix of Rye and Buckwheat for now. Then the end of July / beging of Aug spray that wait a couple days and broad cast your clover blend into the plot and then use a roller to mash the buckwheat down to the ground and pack the seed. What are you thoughts John ? I'm sure the rye will grow that way just not sure how the clover blend will do

That can work

Do deer prefer red clover or a perennial white clover or no difference? Won't rye just keep coming back after a mow like it's browsed?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663

It depends on soil type and if you can even grow white. Red is a great spring summer food and a great plow down green manure. Rye will die after a few mowings

For you springtime planting with Oats, How tall do you let the Oats get before killing the Oats off. Is it better to Spray to Kill the Oats or Mow it off?

Best clover for very low light plot. About 1/8 acre shooting plot. I want it thick? Will cereal rye nurse a shade tolerant clover?

Probably only rye can work Clover needs sun

When you plant clover and chicory in the fall with rye/oats, isnt the rye a problem the following year? Or will the clover and Chicory grow enough to overtake the rye the following year without having to kill the rye?
