When will you be planting your food plots?

What are we planting?

Wheat,we plant some small plots with abruzzi rye to have nesting and fawning cover

Wheat, Coker Oats, and purple top turnips. Have always had good luck with them in my plots. Planning to seed them toward the end of next month.

We planted some today. I found some crowder peas in Tifton at a good price so that is what we are planting.

Yesterday, sewed my 2 plots thick and hung a new stand in what I believe is gonna be a jam up spot between some crabapple trees and persimmons that are both loaded down and a bedding area.

What's your ratio of turnips to grain per acre? One year I way over did it with the turnips and the turnips choked out the wheat and oats. The deer used it sparingly during October and November but oh my, in mid to late December they tore it up, literally. I had several hunts where the deer were digging up the turnips. It sounded like they were eating apples. Since then I've mixed in a few turnips but by December they're usually all pretty much eaten.

Love your avatar by the way. Looks a little like our mutt.

Thanks, our Tater reminds me of my Avatar, that's why I have it. I have two plots that are rather small, probably less than a quarter acre, so I use about a pound and a half per plot. I normally sow 50 lbs. oats and 25 lbs. wheat per plot, drag them under, then hand spread the turnips on top to finish, no dragging on them. I really like the Coker strain of oats best, they seem to hold up better in my soil than anything else I've planted. Don't like rye at all, just my preference. Oh yeah, I also spread 50 lbs. of triple-10 fertilizer before the final drag and before the turnips. With enough rain they put out pretty nicely.........

I cleared an area last week. It's still kinda rough so I may try to run back over it on a lower setting before spraying weed killer. Plan to till and plant in a couple weeks.
