"Fairy dust " coatings 😂 Up to a few years ago I thought those bright color coatings was the secret! Now I know the only color that matters is new growth green! And it doesn't come from coated seed! Thanks for another great lesson John. 👍

I have been following John’s advice for three years now. Never had a failure even in severe drought.

HIGHLY RECOMEND all of Johns blends...Pay attention to Johns advice..No BS!!John helped me with my plots slope issue and very sandy soil.John's soil builder blend was the only blend that i ever planted that grew!Cant thank John enough!

Here in western NY the deer love my fall planted buckwheat! It doesn't last too long as they mow it down but it is like candy to them and it seems easy to grow.

Yes We love fall planted adding buckwheat in sandy soil plots .

Great points John👍

This is great

Just had Josh from WDS at my place. The southern blend is starting to grow brassica again already. The rye is coming up well. He was impressed. Thanks, John, for the great seed quality.

Brassicas have to be the easiest crop to grow definitely recommend anyone try them. I’ve been planting a different brand than johns with great success but will be planting his sweet feast mix this year in a side by side comparison. Then pick the better for following years. I rotate between soybeans and brassicas every other year and the soil seems fine and not lacking nutrients

Clumping grasses are easily spotted and accessable before green-up for those of you with perennial and/or cover crops. Do yourself, and your plot, a favor and dig them up now.

I usually add red clover and chicory to it. The idea of adding buckwheat seems interesting

Too much browse pressure in our area, brassicas only got 6 inches tall before getting wiped out. Definitely going to use a nurse crop next go around.

When it comes to spreading chicory, I actually prefer to have those seeds coated as they are so so small, I find it extremely hard to not oversee them

You forgot to mention that different types of brassicas take different seeding rates. For example, daikon radish is different than purple top turnip.

My biggest mistake is planting in Kansas thinking that it would ever rain again. Maybe I'm just bitter...

Have you broadcasted winter rye into established brassica plots? Would you add annual clover to brassicas like Frosty Berseem or Balasana?

What is your advice regarding setting your food plot up in spring time for fall planting.

We really like a few things Spring summer crops to feed deer and help with soil organics and become a green manure . Multiple strips of different forages in fall.

Do you like landscapes rakes for cleaning plots once the trees are taken out? Any other suggestions on what to use?

I really enjoy Johns videos and am looking forward to planting. But I need a supplier closer to western Wisconsin. I ordered a bag of $49 buckwheat and with shipping it came out to $76. Shipping is so expensive. Any chances of getting a distributor in the Eau Claire or Twin Cities?

Should I plant the brassica seed into the beans and then roll (and spray?)the beans to get the brassica to grow?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663

I don’t think you need to kill the beans

Would adding red clover to the brassica mix help with the concern about running out of seed when spreading? Like adding 5 lbs per acres of red clover to 6 lbs of brassica mix (11 lbs total to spread mixed together)? Wouldn't the brassica's out-compete the clover so the clover only fills in where broadcasting may have missed a spot?

If you follow the seeding approach we use, you won’t need to add xtra seed .

John, when you plant brassicas do you use a tiller on your plot or do you use a no-till method?

I'm curious since you said that sugar beets should not be planted in august because farmers plant them in may why would you plant beans in august when farmers plant them in may also. I assume the deer like the young tender bean tops but don't they also like the young tender tops of sugar beets?

@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663

Much better options for august than beets lime turnips and forage brassicas. Young beans are a “ candy crop” added to grains as part of a plan. Beets have a much different planting depth than brassica and may not germinate well if not planted deep enough.
