I started using this in my garden plot about two years ago and it has helped me control weeds and improve some already good soil. No tractor just a few hand tools and my 4 kids for labor lol

You always provide great content and knowledge thank you Grant

Love it love it! Good stuff going on here! So excited to watch footage from this coming season with you guys! God bless stay safe!

always interesting to see how you guys get such amazing food plots!!

I love the videos Grant does like this.

Planning on starting the buffalo system next spring can’t wait

Great stuff as always Dr. Woods.

I asked about burning permit in SW Kentuky in the pass.Thank you for your answer. We meet few years back at a Bass Pro Shop, I was speaking about archery right after your presentation. Again thank you for your informative videos.

Thank you for your vids I've been studying your channel and I am incorporating your practices this year my eagle beans are on the way

Excellent.

Hello grant, another great informative video. I Wish more large scale farms could start to adapt to the buffalo system. I realize its site specific but could really make a difference in the environment. But have a suggestion for a new video. I am making serious moves to buy the farm as they say. 100 or so acres at least. Want to have small chicken/ cattle operation but have some area for deer as well. Maybe a video on pasture blends that benefit both and how to have both farm and wildlife co exist. Thanks and have a great day

I love watching your food plot videos. If you don't have a drill and crimper, what other implements can you use to do this system with a small tractor?

Hi Dr Woods, a brief question regarding no till. Is it possible to broadcast brassica (turnips and radish) into red clover and immature rye grain without using glyphosate? My family lives in upstate New York and we're looking to mix it up with my offerings on hardwood forest roads for this Fall. Your prescription or any advice is appreciate. Thanks in advance for all your excellent tutorials, much appreciated and we're all thankful for you. Nick

I've been rewatching your videos and you have fantastic content, one more question though, you say you have multiple species in your cover crop. Do you have any trouble with termination considering the species may seed at different times? I don't want to touch herbicides, this method sounds fantastic, I'm just struggling to wrap my mind around how to effectively terminate a multi species just by crimping if I'm wanting to plant a wheat cash crop into it for example. I'm concerned if some of the species are still in the vegetative state or have gone to seed early, have you had any issues with that?

I would love to see farmers use the Buffalo system on their agricultural fields. I bet the yield would be greater than any other time they have harvested. Thank you Dr. Grant for teaching us God’s actual way of growing crops. ✝️🇺🇸🦌

With small seed in the buffalo system like clover, how many lbs per acre do you plant to rye to prevent it from shading out the seed too much?

Grant, can you no till drill corn with a genesis?

What would you recommend as a cover crop for Brassicas like Turnips and Radishes? Typically in the past I've planted clover in the spring and till it in late July Early August as the clover provides nitrogen for brassicas ans organic matter when tilled, but I'm learning a lot from you about not tilling. I was wondering if you would do anything differently?

This is the first time I've come across Grant and his video series. He's opened my eyes as to options I could try. I have 6 acres of bluestem grass. Would this type of Buffalo System work in that type of grass? Once the grasses pop back up, am I okay to just leave the grass? Thanks again

I work on a farm in Minnesota where we produce native grasses and forbs for seed production. Do you think this technique would work for that as well, or do you think the seed is too small and would not have the energy to push through the laid down vegetation? I'm thinking of trying it with species like black-eyed susan, wild bergamot, indian grass, june grass, and canada wild rye.

Count me in for the Buffalo System 202

Hey I was wondering. I live in Central Massachusetts and what I should put down in a small foot plot for some bucks and some mother’s and fawns the come to a trophy rock a put out

I have about 25 acres in eastern NC, I would like to start using the buffalo system to recover the land. what is the best way to determine the crops to rotate? Like what do I plant in the late fall and when to rotate in the spring and so on.

could you also plant a foodplot by hand? im in a hunting area where i have open spots in a forrest. but its gouvernment owned and we cannot go in there with a tractor and machines. whats the best way to go with this. thx a mill.

Great stuff. Is cereal rye a cover crop that could be used year in year out in plots or ag field's? Or should we rotate the cover crops also like we rotate corn & soybeans, brassicas etc.?

My apologies if this question has already been addressed. So what do you do this fall with the bean plot? Can’t come back in August with a fall cover crop without destroying the bean crop.

could you get a crimper for the front of the tractor where the bucket is and do everything in one pass?

The funds are simply not available for a Seed drill this year. Renting one isn’t an option in my area. Hughes Springs, TX 75656 My fall food plots are doing great. It should carry me well into June with a food source . I have 3,000 lb protein feeders that I typically keep full late summer early fall. In your honest opinion, should I continue this system until I can purchase the seed drill?

Do you ever run the crimper ahead of the drill?

@growingdeer tv I have a a question about food plots. You talk about how you do not want to wait till your fall blend is seed. because it will germinate at the wrong time and cause competition. How does that competition differ between competition that blends have on eachother?

Great video! Can you give a bit more information on the crimper? Is it Elias? Thanks

What would be an alternative seed other than soybeans? The reason I ask is hundreds of acres around my hunting land is rotated with soy and corn. Does it make sense to plant soybeans when there is already soybeans planted? Thanks

Can we brodcast seeds in cover crop and then lay down it insted of using drill machine ??

This is off topic from the Buffalo system, but how do you tell if timber has been high graded .

I was watching this and happened to look over to see (who I think) was your daughter driving down 95 in Virginia haha

What brand of no till drill do you use?

Can you drill fine seeds into green mulch? You mention soybeans don't have a problem germinating because it's a large seed. How do fine seeds fair with this system?

So these are more about creating a mulch barrier rather than returning nutrients to the soil by tilling? So reducing herbicide costs outweighs replenishing soil fertility? But we fertilize anyway?

Can I do this over a cut golden rod field

I’m going to start the release system this year on my plots but I’m a little confused by this video. Into the plants that came back from the previous fall you are planting just soybeans. Isn’t that a monoculture? Or does monoculture mean only one species at a time planted over entire year?

I'm looking at using the buffalo system to help my goat pastures. i have a question. Would sudangrass be able to make though the munch? My plan was to use 75% sudangrass and 25% soybean in and 50% rye, 25% oats, and 25% wheat in the winter.

You think hand dragging a square panel in spots I can’t get a tractor due to a creek? I get straps from work our steel comes with we have so many I can take a couple.

So would this system work in my cow/ horse pastures?

Thank you for another great video Grant. If I don’t have a no till drill do you think I could substitute buckwheat instead of soy beans since it will be easier to broadcast? And then do the fall buffalo blend in the fall? Also I don’t have a crimper, so I could spray and roll to terminate each crop. I would do this until I can save up for a drill and crimper.

What happens next in the fall? What do you do to the old soybean food plot?

Doc, what happens if you crimp too early?

The only problem I see or maybe just don’t understand, is before you can get a field to do this too you have to bring in equipment to disturb the soil and dig up or push up trees that are in the way of the field or is there a way to do this that doesn’t require that?

I’m vibingn

Could you not crimp and seed at the same time to save machine and labour costs

This is a kind of a far fetched question but do you think that pheasants could survive in this habitat with all the seeds and forage as long as the predator population is kept in check?

Seems identical to the Gabe Brown, Dave Bryant system. See alot of people twisting the name of the system but the process is the same.

Great system unfortunately I don't have $50k to invest in the equipment your using. But I do believe it's a great system if you can afford the equipment

I don't know much about tractors or farming, but I have watched most of your videos (yes, almost every single one) and every time I see one like this I find myself thinking, "Isn't there a way you can attach the crimper to the front of the tractor or in-front/behind the no till drill to knock out both steps with one tractor pass?" Sure seems like it would save a lot of time/resources.

al·le·lop·a·thy /əlēˈläpəTHē,ˌalə-/ noun ECOLOGY the chemical inhibition of one plant (or other organism) by another, due to the release into the environment of substances acting as germination or growth inhibitors. had to look that one up

Those 2 pieces of equipment to push it all over is 5 times as expensive as a tiller.

I like the buffalo system you came up with but grant your misinforming about tradition till and drill most farmers use it because it is the quickest and cheapest you spend way more time in the field in your buffalo system thank you do in till and drill because for one a no till drill is smaller and more expensive than a traditional planter and you can till and plant on the same day or till and wait a week till rain forecast and plant but in the buffalo system your having to plant a cover crop(more money spent) plant your main crop and them have to terminate your cover crop. All taking more time and more money than till and drill because more equipment and resources are used in the buffalo system and more time in the field means more fuel spent and more hours you have to pay workers most farms don’t spend to much on fertilizer and pesticides and almost none now spend on herbicides unless aphids and other bugs become a big problem which is uncommon know that the government brought the god forsaken brown ladybugs to the US but back to the point I get your trying to promote your system as the best but it ain’t and tilling don’t more earthworms than a no till does earth worms are hardy the can be cut Ingram haft and grow two worms from one I’m just going to leave it at that I know I don’t use grammar and it hard to read but till and drill is what I call disking and planting it is the best system that has been around and improved for a long time to be the best agricultural system for the best input for output of money for crops time is money and it takes a lot of money do do any larger scale farming with the buffalo system than regular agricultural practices
