I have a wetter area. Broadcasted soybeans and sprayed 1.5 oz round up. Got rain 4hrs later than 3 more rains in 5 days. They threw roots into soil. Hope the 12 Inch weeds and grasses protect beans until they get some size. Added little buckwheat and red clover to protect against browse pressure

Insted of weighing seed, I take a measuring cup (fl.oz.) and pour the new bag slowly into the cup a little ar a time. I transfer it to the tote, noting how many total fluid ounces are in the bag. It is now possible to convert the total bag size (acre, 1/4 acre etc.) Into total fluid ounces and use that conversion to scoop into the bag when the plot size has been determined. I also convert my small plot sizes into qubic yards vs acres to eliminate using fractions as much.

What brand of glyphosate are you using? I searched 2% and couldn't find any.

@GrowingDeerTV Ай бұрын

I use the least expensive generic I can purchase. I didn't communicate well glyphosate is sold at about 43% active ingredient. The 2% means to use that product at 2% If your sprayer holds 100 ounces or 100 gallons, add 98 ounces or gallons of water and 2 ounces or gallons of glyphosate.

How long can you store the seed in totes? If it's possible to store the seeds for months in totes that would definitely help me with storage space until I plant. Thanks for the videos and information.

Seeds can be stored for months (wide range) if stored in a cool, dry place. Most seeds are harvested, cleaned, and stored for at least a year until they are planted.

What size range do you consider a hidey-hole food plot? We have a couple fields that are around an acre; most are smaller. Just wondering...

Good question! I like small hunting plots to be 1/4 acre or so, but there's no rule. Often size is more of a factor of producing enough forage to attract deer for longer than a few weeks.
