Should you let your clover plots go to seed before cutting?
Never get tired of listening to you so glad I stumbled upon you , your knowledge of seeds and how to grow them in all types of soil just blows me away again thanks for the info you offer it’s great
Thank John
Looks good John. Let's see that planter set up for behind the 4 wheeler?
I got to say your rock/clay plot looks good, My plot I have to move rock to find the dirt! I have great success with your seed even with my bad dirt and all kinds of critters enjoy it. In the last 2 months I have seen moose, bear, deer, turkey, bobcat and a bunch or rabbits in there either feeding on last falls Fall Forage Blend or this springs buckwheat. Thanks John!
I’m a big fan of summer food plots. No chance of creating a “doe factory” here in western Massachusetts our deer numbers aren’t that high. Love watching the bucks does and fawns all out there on the soybeans and clover!!!
Ya Never really bought into that
What pre emergent do u use for your sorghum
If it’s treated with concept, dual II magnum if it’s only a sorghum planting. Or else Simizine
Thanks for the boost of confidence! There is hope for my sandy soil yet! Heading up next weekend to open a new food plot and throw down buckwheat to over winter, then next year it will be rye. Thanks for all the detail in your reasoning and process for seed and timing. After your video I checked out another food plot video from another creator, not the doe factory guy😆😆, and their food plot was lush, green, huge and definitely had lots of time input to be so perfect. Your content gives us blue collar food plotters reliable, believable information on the ups and downs of food plots! OK , until the next video!
I'm just curious, I hunt in Menomonee County, Have you seen many deer this year? My cams picked up a few doe, but no bucks. This is a first. Just wondering if you heard anything about the deer numbers this year? Thank you
So far pretty good. No cameras out yet but with the east winter, should be a good season.
@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 I hope so. Last year my food plots were barely touched compared to years past. But it was also warmer than usual most of the season.
John, what is the best post emergent herbicide for soil builder blend?
There really is not one. To many species
Got it. Thank you.
.is the seed production on this sorghum good..besides being a screen planting ,hows it for a wildlife food source ?
No or a good food source That would be Milo or game sorghum
Got mine on the ground first weekend of june. Its up and coming on strong!
where do we buy the plot doctor?
Check back in 2 weeks 👍
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 No more Harper Growing solutions?
John, when you plant brassicas do you use a tiller on your plot or do you use a no-till method?
I till in red clover
If adding UREA nitrogen to increase plant production during its growing season, but as UREA can lower the soil ph, how quickly does the UREA actually lower soil ph?
I am fired up for food plot season. Been mowing and spraying the clover plot and it’s looking lush
I can grow the greatest food plot in the bed of my truck. Got soybeans and cereal rye now sprouting.
Do you sell Soybeans and rape? I need both for my 1 acre food plot in Southeastern Virginia?
No beans but a brassica blend
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 ok Thanks
How well does your clover work in NE Pennsylvania? Which would you suggest? Soil test is I had to add a tiny bit of lime and that is it. All other readings were good
Clover blend should work great
This will be my 4th year with a screen product along a road I am trying to screen from road hunters. I watched one of your videos and you said the soil couldn’t take 2-3 years of screening in the same spot. I’ve not used any fertilizer any year yet and have grown 10-12 foot screens each year. This may be the year it fails. It’s already planted so that’s that this year. What can I alternate between years and how many years do I swap something out before replanting your HD screen product. What’s the rotation and what else can I use in place of the HD screen?
Rotate with. Soil builder and an annual clover You should really try some fertilizer
Another quality video John. What do you use for a drag to cover the Soil Builder seed?
A harrow drag from TSC
Is there a sprayer you prefer or feel is best? Bought a Fimco and been having trouble ever since
All I use is a fimco from TSC
Do you ever use anything to knock down your buckwheat?
A light discing to set the plot for the fall plot
Very helpful. Switch is slow and difficult.
Well I might have to try to overseed this when my soybeans yellow out. And add some clover and chicory. Southern Ohio. Thank you
Short season brassica would work
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.
I get tons of mourning doves !! I know this pain
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.
Once it seeds out it’s about to die
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.
Should I cut it now or leave it?
@@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.
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!
Thanks John
Another great video loaded with useful information that brings results!
Thanks jake
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
How much water are you adding to the lawn roller when packing the plot?
None
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
I just want to say thank you. I've learned so much from your videos and appreciate the time and effort you put into educating others.
Thank you
Goood video!!!! Keep them coming! How do the deer like your red clover? Thinking about giving it a try, gonna be hard to beat the seclusion 360
The really like it
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
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
What would you recommend when the soybeans yellow late August?
Short season brassica
Thank you. I’ll be putting your switchgrass and HD screen this first week of June. Sadly I live hours away and hope it works. I did a good gly spray and had to bust up the ground. Sadly may not be able to get back for awhile. Fingers crossed.
I did all my planting and got my HD Screen planted last weekend, plus RC Big Rock switch! Really excited to see it grow. I followed the instruction sheet. Watched the Northwoods video on planting it. But I think my disc covered it too deep. Might have to do over. But make a chain link fence drag to go over it and drag it not disc it in. Thank goodness time is on my side with the HD Screen and soil temps. Great videos John thanks! 👍
Well.....I ordered 6 bags of Egyptian wheat when you were sold out of HD screen.....which I used in the past.....so I guess I screwed up. Already planted it...ughh
Looking to place an order soon for this seed for up in New York, got my soil test back and have a PH of 6.1 (buffer pH 7.79) and OM of 5.1 Is there anything you recommend adding to the soil? Is that OM to high? Thanks in advance!
OM is great How big is the plot
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 its about a half acre plot, calculations have it at .43 of an acre
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663it is around a half acre plot, .43 of an acre, i just figured reaching out because I don’t wanna over seed and mess it up, and also wanna make sure the seed bed is the best it can be for this mix.
It’d be “nice” to get more invasive Russian autumn olive….what a dip shit. Egyptian wheat makes a nice annual screen…10’ tall, zero food value to deer, cheap seed…requires nitrogen in poor ground.
I planted last year in a hard drought year in KS. I can't believe that some of the plants were over 10' tall, when our native big bluestem didn't even put out a seed head because of the drought. Highly recommended
How tall will it get early to mid July planting. My soil still 55 degrees in mornings.
Probably 10 feet Long of cold soils yet I tilled mine to help speed up the process
I planted willows into a natural fence i made by cutting down 15 to 20 ft pine trees. Put the cuttings into the branches. Thinking about mixing a 1/3 rate of hd screen with a full rate of switch grass. Around the pines and making a browse bedding pocket. Have a irrigation method with in 75 ft of a pond.
I plan on using HD screen on my property 1/4 mile . I have everything I need . Just warm soil and dry soil after the rain. I appreciate your efforts and knowledge!
My HD screen worked great but it’s hell on a bush hog
Mid-Michigan here. We planted HD screen for the first time last year and had a massive fall storm come through our area. 90mph straight winds, trees down everywhere. I had several fruit trees break off right at the ground. The HD screen was bent over at quite an angle and I thought it was a goner. A couple weeks later most of it was standing back tall again. We ordered more this year for other areas of the property as well. Great, very resilient screen.
