Man, I don't know why - but the opening still scene of this video makes me think of that song... He's not heavy, he's my brother" One of the best channels on KZfaq!!

glad you're ok!

glad you are feeling better, now you are ready for hunting season.

I did my 3rd spray last night. I used a heavy spray of 2-4D and glyphosate, over my super weedy buckwheat. I believe I sprayed too early and light on my 2nd run. Thank you for assuring us to kill the weeds. “I hate Weeds 😠🤣!” Thank you Jesus! Jeff God speed, you have good crew. First planting starting in 2 weeks.

Jeff! Glad you are on the mend! I ordered a few bags of your brassica blend and a hat 🤠. Can't wait to get it in the ground!

some people are good at their jobs and offer alot to what they do, Sturgis you are on another level with what you do, best in the business....no comp.

I hope you are feeling better soon !

Get better soon buddy

I don't start till late August. No rain till late Sept. Plus my plots last well into winter months late jan. Down here in GA

You are the man! Surgery yesterday and back to work the next day. Really appreciate the different options you provide. We are "absentee" owners so time can be at a premium. Our neighbor sent us pictures of the Egyptian wheat we put in for screening and the buckwheat we put in as soil builder. Getting anxious to get back to the property and start utilizing your fall food plot concepts. All of the "cheap summer help" (family) are requesting WHS ball caps in exchange for their labor. Be safe and let your incision heal.

Ayyy Louisiana gettin mentioned! :D Hope your recovery goes quick and easy, Jeff, appreciate all the videos!

Jeff, you are a beast! Back in action! They don't build em' like they used to!

Jeff hope you heal up quick! Currently trying to grab a few of these questions so you can recover!

Praying for you to feel better jeff. Went through the appendix surgery 2 years ago. Had pain in the same area after surgery. they said it was scar tissue. All better now with no pain. Had to lose a little weight tho. When my belly would press around my belt and it HURT. Thanks for the perfect timing for your video. Picked up a seed speader like yours. Used it yesterday. I have smaller plots and used a small electric spreader before. What a big difference! Really appreciate your posts. Feel better soon!

Take care of yourself man! Good to see you up and around.

Get well soon !

Prayers for a speedy recovery sir. Thanks for what you do.

Glad you caught it early, speaks loudly of your character to be on here doing a video. Appreciate everything you do, heal up my friend

Dadgum, Jeff. You're hardcore. It's gonna be about 110° here in OK with no rain in sight so it looks like a late planting kind of year.

Wow! You are a strong man! I pray you get some rest too and great video as usual!!! I planted soybeans this year for the 1st time and they are jumping. Looking good!

Heal up fast Jeff, need you to do a rain dance soon. The season will be here before you know it. Need some venison this year. Thanks for all you do. Oli.

Get well soon and thanks for the info!

I'll have to watch this again. Because aLL I can think about is that YOU JUST HAD YOUR APPENDIX OUT! Heal up quick Jeff!

Jeff, ordered your Fall Green Blend yesterday and received it today. Thanks for the super fast shipping. Looking forward to getting it in the ground!

Thanks Jeff. Godspeed on healing! Peace Brother.

Thanks Jeff! Praying you'll recover well!

I have 25 years doing this planting & replanting. Alot of good advice & if people have alot of deer pressure u start with the fast growing annuals backed up like u said with the grains later. I've had great success putting buckwheat in places that yield weeds but 2 years of buckwheat back to back seems to choke them out. When I was 10 I had a 105* temp on the 1st day of spring. I had surgery for a ruptured appendix! Open incision for a week & had to miss 1 month of school. What doesn't kill u only makes u stronger. Alot of deer would have been better off if I wasn't around more than 10 years, ha haha 😅.

Glad you are ok. Ordered the fall blend hope it ships soon .

Hey Jeff keep up the great videos you help a lot

I just ordered 8 lbs of your brassicas mix...It will go head to toe against Big N Beasty. May the best brassicas win! Cheers.

Great video. My dad's farm where I hunt is mostly ag and woods. I'll be throwing rye in parts of the bean fields when the beans start to turn brown as well as broadcasting rye into thin clover

Finally got some good rain in WNY... THERE'S HOPE ! Thanks for a great food plot video. Hope you heal up fast 🕺🏻

Dang good video, thanks for sharing your time and information ✅💥✌️

Thanks for this vid! I really needed since I have tear in my should and haven’t been able to work on plots. Had surgery yesterday so Hopefully can work on in a couple weeks here in southern Ohio. I was afraid didn’t have time for brassicas or tillage radish. Thanks again!

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️ Mr. Procrastonater here this year!! Thanks for the review Jeff. Headed out to spray Gly and 2-4-D today. Been coaching all spring and running everywhere with the kids. Gotta get those plots in!

I have not been able to get to my hunting lease in Georgia yet And was concerned that I would not be able to get a first time Food Plots done because it was too late. Thank you for giving me the confidence to go ahead and get it done. I enjoy all of your videos and have learned a tremendous amount. Thank you for all you do, you have definitely made me a better hunter

I just planted 10 lbs. of Tillage Radish this past Saturday on a brand new food plot. Can't wait to see the results

Still making content even tho feeling under the weather.Appreciate the video Jeff

Work ethic on point. Better now than deer season 😅 prayers for ya.

Time to buy another not pad, I'm running out of pages Lol. Thank you so much Jeff.

Thanks for the video sir! Hope you are back to 100% soon!

Dont bust a stitch ! Watching vid on lunch break.....just south of the midpoint in alabama here ( 110 heat index here today beatin me up ) in bottom of the black belt.. Season opens mid oct but i usually dont hunt til mid nov due to heat unless i catch a good cold front...october cold fronts and the last of the white oak acorns have been good to me thru the years..i usually put down first layer of rye with first rain in oct...wait 2 weeks and overseed another layer...2 weeks and get a 3rd layer in...rut here isnt til mid jan it kicks off...hoping to have plots big enough next year to be able to plant half brassica blend and half grains...dont think brassicas can handle the browse with current plot size...thinking bout adding in some clover to the rye this year...thinking clover as a legume can help provide nitrogen for the rye due to fertilizer cost...any thoughts on clover and rye mix ? Trying to get a little more attraction value...at same time seed need to be small cuz no buckwheat to lay on it...no implements to til...they kept rye mowed down last year , so it never got tall and stemmy til spring when i killed it. Everything good so far, normally full of doe all summer...appears like a ghost town down in there atm..looks like i made plenty of room for bucks to shift onto me this year...

Jeff, did I hear that right? Glyphosate don't kill Clover? Another good video. You have been a lot of help over the years... Thanks.

Jeff, first off, thanks for the big boost brassica blend. I ordered last week and hopefully it arrives soon. Super excited to see the results. Speaking of that, with the extreme drought here in WV over the last two months, do you have any recommendations if the drought continues into early fall? I’m going to plant the brassica blend in early August if rain is forecasted, but with the buckwheat I planted, it had one rain, germinated and just withered away. Is rye the best option for dry weather? I’d rather have something green for the fall than nothing at all. Anything green would be a better attractant than the surrounding properties. Just praying this weather pattern changes soon. What a frustrating spring and summer 😫

Get healed up Jeff! Deer season is coming quick and I know you don’t want to miss that. Lay off the bow practice because that is going to hurt.

2-4D will hurt germination of some seeds. There is a chart in the label that will tell you how long you have to wait until you can plant. 2-4D and Roundup on the first spraying and only roundup on the second a month later at seeding time is a great recipe. 2-4D and Roundup offer different modes of action. Basically a boxer that mixes up his punches.

Feel better jeff

I just planted an acre with Domain seed three weeks ago and maybe 10% germinated I think I will do some winter rye for now.

Prayers to you bud.

From PA stayed near Ohiopyle last night to scout some Maryland public . Got a couple cameras hung up in saddles outside bedding with old rubs and trails crossing everywhere. Won't be back til September to check cards, can't wait to see what I get!

Great content and great timing 👏, I am a little off my game this year due to an ef1 tornado 🌪 messing up my land, but in the long run, tree tops on the ground...lol oh 😀 and keep shooting brothers because missing is not fun...

Great video! Is it worth broadcasting&spraying my fall plantings in areas of the plot where the buckwheat didn’t come up?

Do you have a video showing what setting you put your earthway spreader on when you plant various seeds? Buckwheat, brassica, tillage radish, wheat/oats, and rye

Hey Jeff I’m really loving your videos they are very informative and I’m hoping your advice can help me tag my first buck this year. Question for you, I’m in Kentucky with about 40 acres but the majority of the property is really wooded with two main fields. Is there a minimum amount of land that I would want to be dedicated to be food plots before it becomes effective or does it not matter?

What seed rates are you doing the radish, buckwheat, pea mix? The buckwheat I put in (I thought was going to be before rain) still hasn't germinated where it was about 2'+ high this time last year, so I'm thinking I need a plan in place in case I have to just treat the area like a bare soil new plot in a month.

I’m learning from ya. You very knowledgeable. I still wanna till up the earth though and get the seed covered. But I’m gonna try this fall not to. Lol. I killed everything the other day. Gonna plant end of September I may buy your blend and some winter wheat. But I do have to ask. You said glysophate won’t kill clover. I haven’t tried it but I was under the impression glysophate kills everything. I spray 41% glysophate from tsc on my fence row and I have a old cemetery on me and it kills every thing. Including little trees. Lol.

Mr.jeff I live in Kentucky. Wanted to plant my first kill plots this year. What's the best and easiest thing to plant in like clay dirt that will take good and deer would enjoy coming to? Love your videos I've learned alot thanks mr.jeff.

what is in your Fall Power Greens? doesn't say what is in the mix on your website. look forward to buying these from you and giving them a try.

With little to no rain at my farm in SE Kansas. I’ll about have to wait until mid to late August to get brassicas on the ground…. You think that’s my best hope? Glad your getting better with Health!!

Oh yeah! My screening and Egyptian wheat had some weeds too. I messaged Northwoods Whitetail, with almost immediate response 🙌 Suggested I try a patch with homemade mix of 2-4D. I sprayed a 10’x12’ area last night. The weeds look a bit sad already, but the stalks look healthy yet. God willing it works.

My clay ground keeps choking out my plots due to dry weather. Planted Buckwheat the last two years with very little success. Is there a way to build soil over time? As of now I’m just planning on planing rye heavy in the fall and then possibly tilling it in and repeating the process in the spring…

I planted brassicas right before August right before a big rain should it do good my first time

Jeff, myself and my uncle were looking to do a 3-acre food plot in Arkansas this year however the weather is looking like it's not cooling off anytime soon. We were wanting to do brassicas. Is there a deadline for brassicas?

I want to blow something into standing corn/beans using my extreme blower attachment. (corn & beans will be harvested 3rd-4th week in September) What would you recommend for that?

Can you do a small series on how to deal with the hot dry conditions we see here in west Texas please? We had MAYBE 5 to 7" of rain so far this year and its August now.My first attempt was a total fail in the spring. There was no rain to be had. I am seeing a weeks worth of 40% rain in our 10 day forecast. Labor day weekend seems to be about the right time for my zone 7 West Texas area. I plan to try frost seeding this winter with clover and see if I can get that to work. We always seem to get one or two inches of snow during the winter, its just a matter of timing. Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated.

Is there anything I can spray on the plot I have of Brassica that I planted a little to early (Mid June) and have grass and Ferns coming back already, and not kill the Brassica that is growing?

Hey Jeff, hope your feeling better. Was wondering do you spray your Plot Start right after you cruch the buckwheat down or will it not help unless it has direct contact to the soil?

I planted my food plots today… half brassicas and half pea,oats, bean mix. I may have completely messed up because I sprayed them afterwards. I sprayed over top of seeds to get one last kill. Was round up and 24d… did I completely mess up?? Doing that spray?

Hey Jeff, should I fence my food plot so the deer cant get to it before season?

Hey Jeff, what are your thoughts on the news that glyphosphate is being found in urine sample of cancer patients?

hey jeff. i found you 2 years ago and this year i’m ready to put your philosophy into practical application this fall. i’ve ordered your brassica blend and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.quick simple question. my property is in south east georgia. i have followed your spray schedule so i have no weeds. when you plant ?

If you've been doing food plots since '98 this is actually your 26th season of doing it! 😉

I hope you’re feeling better and don’t have an air pocket in your diaphragm! Can you touch on the settings your using the earthway? I recall there was a video in past that said brassica at 1.5 setting. But what about settings with cereal grains and foraged green? I bought the 3 ebook series and haven’t scanned over anything that talks about what setting to use yet

Curious about why use 24d and gly both? Also, what setting do you use on your broadcaster? Great video!

I thought the reason you did buckwheat in the summer is that it's not attractive to whitetail in the summer. Why is it in your fall mix?

Excellent information Jeff (again!). QUESTION - I have completed weed control for no-till approach, yet ground is hard in nature (a component of clay)....do you still feel confident in broadcasting directly onto soil in advance of rain OR do you do another 'step' with hard ground? Thanks!

Can I both spray Gly while seeding AND hit it with Plot Start? What’s a solid sequence of application?

Jeff do you ship your wildlife blend USPS or FedEx??

Can oats be substituted for the top dress of rye in September? This is in North Carolina. The coldest month is January with an average low of about 30°F. I’m having a hard time finding winter rye locally and shipping costs almost the same as the seed.

Hi Jeff: I have 2 food plots that I put buckwheat in earlier this summer. They are about 50% weeds, 50% buckwheat. Am I better off terminating everything with glyphosate and 2,4D right now so I have open soil going into mid August or do I hope the buckwheat out competes the weeds. The buckwheat is about 3 ft tall right now. If I terminate, should I brush hog the buckwheat down before spraying so I reach the lower growing weeds. Thanks.

Hi Jeff, if I have low Ph sandy type soil for my food plot and this will be my first ever try at planting (Gladwin, MI area), would you recommend your buckwheat no til, no drill method or would you recommend putting in a soil type builder of food and then in later years go with how your buckwheat no til planting method once the soil has improved? Thanks and hope you feel better soon!

I sprayed like crazy, My Buckwheat doing well. But Lots of Milkweed sprouted up. Can I plant my WHS blend into it - crush it and terminate it - along with the buckwheat?

Jeff, the shipping is pretty high to ship just one small bag of Fall green blend (?) from Northwoods Whitetails to Missouri. Any suggestions on a comparable product I can buy locally?

I commend you on putting out postings the day after surgery. I'm in central Missouri. My food plots are white clover mixes. We are having an epic hot summer and rain has been below normal. My clover is holding on but is going dormant. The long range forecast is that rain will return in August with seasonal temps. My question is, should I let my clover recover and fertilize it or would it hurt to drill in some brassica's? Let's assume that we get moisture. If the drought persist, my question is irrelevant. This is the 3rd year for my clover and I have a really good stand. Clover stays green in this part of Missouri well into November and even December depending on the weather. I wanted to mix it up a bit with some variety but I'm not sure with the heat and drought stress that this is the year to do it. Your thoughts?

We are supposed to get four days of rain starting Friday in SE Minnesota, should I plant my brassica blend or wait a few more weeks??

We just had 40-50 acres logged and they left a mess. Huge limbs and debris everywhere, small trees down, don't get me started. Question...If I forest mulch it all will it want to come back as timber?. It's all clay and slopping downhill so I want to stop erosion as quick as I can.. But I would like to make it into pasture, crop field, etc. Would it be best to just bulldoze and flatten it and then try to put something down? When it was forested the pH was 4.9 to 5.9. And yes, I want game as well. I'm looking at the 20 year picture to leave something to those who will come after me. And glad to see you up and moving, surgery to remove something you don't use sucks. Don't get me started.

question. have you ever sowed the seed directly into weeds. then rolled and sprayed the weeds? I've just ordered my seed from North woods whitetails.

Do you do remote consultations? I have so many questions,

Generally how long after spraying 24d do you wait before planting? I’m battling mares tail and water hemp. Thank you

Get well after your surgery. How does this information deal with west east texas?

Hi Jeff, I ordered your fall power blend. What setting would you set your earthway spreader at to spread it out? Thanks!

Could you mention Maine some Time please.im a dedicated hunter.but I tell ya it's a hard sport to play up here in Maine...we have alot of laws that southern states don't have.

I’m still struggling with the timeline. Down in AL our seasons are completely different from you guys up north.

Any recommendations on a good high use target?

Might be time for Dylan to be in front of the camera while you rest. Glad your starting to feel better, time for some R&R for you Jeff.

Can you use glyphosate to kill weeds in a clover plot without hurting the clover?

Hope your ok jeff

If all else fails, frost seed several hundreds of pounds of corn 2 days before opening day. It's hard to keep the deer from eating your seed but im sure you'll find a way. 😂😂😂

That's baiting
