in GA I probably would not even bother with brassicas since you can have cereal grains and clover Palatable through the winter

Mel brooks was a genious. Nobody gets that movie today

@@ChilcoteForestryServices I still love that movie

I sure do miss the real president of the United States.

@@ChilcoteForestryServices yes sir!

Let’s go Br4ndon!!

that big one is still growing now in December after being mowed off twice

What state are you in? I’m hearing the collards don’t attract deer. I haven’t planted them yet so I’m a little worried. I am in southern NY

You are welcome

Sounds like a good system

I try to plant with soil health and year-round food supply. If we can achieve living roots in the soil and diverse forage and cover, that will be the best for the environment. I dont recommend to clients they use only "bait" plots for hunting but to establish a good supply of food, cover, security at all times. Brassicas are in my mixes but never a stand alone crop. Thats a waste of space in my opinion. They do quiet well in a spring mix but dont make forage alone. Fall is ok but they are usually decimated by hunting season or untouched,depending on what alternatives deer have. Clover is just a good in the same season as brassicas. I could go on and on.

@@ChilcoteForestryServices I'm in Southern Michigan, and my program is to have about half my plots in perennials (clover and alfalfa mainly) for warm season food, and then the other half I rotate with a late planted brassica mix and a forage grain mix (oats, rye, wheat). Once we get to October, the deer are typically done with the clover and alfalfa as it is past prime, but they smash the brassicas from October through the winter. The grain mix isn't as great in the Fall, but they paw at it all Winter as a source of sustenance, and it greens up really early in the Spring. In the summer I mow it when it gets about thigh high, and then till it in. It makes a great soil for brassicas. When the crops come down, a nice lush field of turnips and radishes is a magnet in this area. So I have food 365 days, but in this area we can't rely on perennials alone because once they get frosted they lose a lot of attraction.

The best thing about radish is that it will drill through some serious hard pan if you have that problem

I work on properties all over but cenyral PA is home

Yes. Brassicas will never compete with soybeans. Hybrid rape seems to work best in summer

Needs a couple frost on greens, it'll make the leaves sweeten up to the deer, they are bitter before frost

@@seans1447 the sweetening after first frost is a complete myth. The biologists have done many studies on this.

@@Rcol4427Correct. Its not that they’re sweeter. Its because its the only thing green available at the time.

​@@seans1447Myth

Kale is very cold tolerant. I like to use hybrids tho as they can be a little coarse.

8lbs clover, 40 lbs wheat, 30 peas, 4-6 lbs brassica, depending on the browse pressure. They need spacr to get big. If deer are eating the wheat, they will do well, then wheat, clover and peas will come in spring

@@ChilcoteForestryServices thank you

Give me a xall tomorrow to discuss

Mix in a little bit of peas or beans to get them started.

Hey man, thanks for watching. YT seems to like this video. Anyway, ny has good soil and weather for cool season plants. I suggest mixing brassicas in with lots of winter peas, clover, oats. I get my seeds from Green Cover Seeds. Im working on a food plot course so stay tuned for that. Any questions give me a call.

@@ChilcoteForestryServices Steve, some food plot experts claim that collard and kale are not very palatable to whitetails. They have planted it and it is untouched until it dies. What is your experience with it . I’m in southern NY

Green cover seeds has them

@@ChilcoteForestryServices I commented to soon, I saw the link in the description, went to their site. I’m probably gonna order a bunch of collards.

YEAH! All that peace and prosperty really sucked. Much better now we mMarxists back in charge. Anti America marxist Biden voters are welcome to stay off my channel LETS GO BRANDON!

@@ChilcoteForestryServices OK no problem you right wing fascist

How’s the love for Joe now? Jimmy Carter is smiling because he’s no longer the worst President in US history

@@ChilcoteForestryServices Trump is a Criminal always was always will be! Sad you were fooled, the Republicans pulled him out of Alex Jones's Butt Crack, and they were warned! Also if their was a Lab Leak in Wuhan it's because Trump Allowed the Gain of Function Ban too be lifted in 2017. Sad people can't see Trump created his own problems, and really screwed up big time, Hope 🦊 Fraud News pays Dominion out the butt, Rupert Murdoch deserves to lose everything! I appreciate your information on food plots we are doing mostly high protein food plots no tilled in, with cowpeas Labb Labb, Sun Hemp, and Cowpeas with Egyptian wheat for bedding, we also have persimmons, Chestnuts, Pears, apples, Clover, Alfalfa, and Chicory once crops are harvested we plant winter wheat, we also Drill in Purple top Turnips, and brassica though we do have too spray for army worms in the fall. Chicory does better in a clover mix, that in a cover crop mix, we also use Okra and Cow peas as a screen cover! Also trying some Lambquarters and other natural Brouse where appropriate.
