Awesome Video Jeff, You Never Disappoint!!!

I like how your new class gives more details to compliment these videos series.

Keep watching your plot videos thanks for talking about the different species of brassicas and planting tips

Mister Jeff, you are a blessing! I hunt only public but I get a lot from you talking about Overall deer related subjects like crops.maybe it's just that you're a man that knows what he's talking about.we need that about now! Gets my mind off of the negative things in the world.Thanks my brother

That is a heck of a stand of corn back there on the good luck on all your new property

I just realized that I can connect this video to my TV with the press of a button. Now my whole family has to watch it with me on wknds. Lol. I had to go back over all my brassica plot and beans and peas last night. Just didn't get the rain I needed.

I planned two acres of brassicas using this method first food plot looks great germination the second one has got some holes where the ground isn’t level I believe the rain washed the seed off will be filling in the holes with winter rye, come mid September. Just wanted to say that this method works by spraying multiple times and seeding right on the ground. Thanks Jeff for all the information that you make.

I plant Brassicas in the southern tier of NY, they hit it from mid October & mixed with turnups keep digging them through March. It's in the Brassicas and turnups that I usually find shed antlers.

Good morning Jeff. I am always amused by the 1 thumbs down WHS has regardless of how informative, helpful and thorough the video and content. Keep up the good work. God bless you

Morning. I am heading to the property this morning to check on things. We planted Brassica in mid July, and one day they where there and the next our small plot was hit pretty hard. Our deer did not wait a bit! Wiped out most of the plots and hammered the corn good too. We are in a thick wooded area with little AG around. Any plot is just being blown out early and might be planted late again. Next year we are going to have to increase acreage to ensure there is enough to go around lol.

Hey bud hope all is well the buckwheat was phenomenal I followed your no till method I love it will be going up 1st week in sept to spread winter rye to fall food plot also gonna add 50# of urea for a boost ty so much for what you teach

Great comments on Brassica. We first planted a Brassica mix in Western WI in 1994. The deer did not touch it for the first two years of planting it. It was foreign to them and as you know it has a very pungent order...they had just never encountered it before. It took them two years to get accustom to it and then they devoured it, my advice is to stick with it. After years of trial and error, we also found it was best to plant in the late summer for a fall crop. We found, even though planting in the spring gave us a little more volume, it was very weedy and matured too early. Just our experience over the years. Bob

Planted 3 Acer's today with oats and radish. 100 lbs oats to Acer and 8 lbs radish to Acer. Our winter last wasn't harsh in Ky so my oats last grew this spring to seed out. Lightly broke ground today before planting. Got a 20 min or so rain shower on them. Hopefully see them growing in few weeks. I've had good luck planting this mix. My neighbors are trying it this year in woods on 1/4 Acer plots or less. Got feeling the deer will eat there's up as there no ag field on there property like ours. We have 20 Acer's standing corn on our property as well.

I watch everything u put out I thank you so much. I planted kale tillage radish and turnips. Aug1st the deer been eating the heck out of it since it germinated? Any suggestions?

Put in my first ever brassica plots this year using your techniques. One with a buckwheat planting and the other without (just 3 sprayings of glyphosate instead). Both are looking great! Thanks so much for the info Jeff.

Hi Jeff, thanks for all the info. You provide on food plots. Can you tell me where the best place is to buy food plot seed; whether its cereal grains, brassicas or food plot mixes? Thanks again

Jeff nice video I any tips on somebody being disabled using a ground blind for archery

Looking to follow this method on my 80acres that I just picked up this summer.

First food plot ever sowed two weeks ago in SE Kentucky. Good brassica growth just getting underway. I’m going to go over it mid-September with winter rye to fill in the gaps and add some variety. I also hunt turkey in this same field in the spring. Anything the turkeys like I can throw in there now for spring gobblers?

Jeff I’ve been following your recommendations since March everything has been working out really well it really surprised me how the buckwheat works with the peas and beans and oats my question would be can we plant buckwheat again next year over the same plots that I planted this year ? Looking forward to more videos and helpful hints thanks Ray Smith

Curious on the plot start review? How did that strip end up? Can't find any follow up videos. That's for all the great videos!

Hey Jeff. For starters, love your videos man. Super helpful for this new food plotter. I just bought an Earthway spreader like yours. Dumb question, but how do you put the spreader on 1.5 or 1.25 setting? I'd have to look again, but it looks like mine just has settings 1, 2, 3, etc. How do you do small increments like that? Also, if I am doing a small plot thats smaller than half acre, do you calculate how much seed to put in the spreader, or do you just focus more on the seed rate/setting and do an even spread. FWIW, I am planting the NW Sweet Feast Blend. Thanks Jeff!

Thumbs UP!

I will be creating a plot in the middle of some timber, ag fields are nearby and some good bedding a few hundred yards away.. As far as the shape of a food plot goes, do you prefer just a big open shape or little pockets with cover in-between?

What kind of plot would you recommend in the deep south i.e. florida partially swamp/ clay. Its heavy woods cypress ,oaks and pine 50 acres with three 1/2 acre sections set for plots. Have agriculture on 2 sides and a timber tree farm on the other 2 sides

My Brassica plots are doing great. I would say I have 4 to 8 in of growth since August 1st. I put about 50 pounds of nitrogen on my plot right before heavy rains in Columbia County. We received three to four inches of rain, wondering if that will affect the nitrogen I put down? Would you reapply or just leave things as is?

Awesome vid. one of my faves. what do we do the next season with the brassica? Spray? Mow? Till? Helppp!!

Planted our first brassica food plot. 1/4 acre of Radish/Turnips in the middle of the woods & it came up great. Thinking of planting clover in the spring to give some summer food, but what should we rotate as far as an annual goes for next fall?

I hunt western ky and my lease is a mix of ag and woods and have just started aggressive food plots this year , this is the first year of corn on our land and are the only corn within miles. We have multiple 130/140 and one 160 on camera for the first time ever and we attributed that to the corn , we are feeling like planting corn in 50% in our plots next year because beans never have produced these results and we also feel the standing corn will provide more stem count . Do you recommend the corn left standing in ag areas to help hold bucks in November and December? Thanks

Jeff, I’m located in north central West Virgina. What mix would you suggest to start new food plots for the spring and fall. I have 80 acres, of hardwood and thick cover surrounded by cattle/hay fields. Hope to clear some food plots starting next year. Thank you!!

Hello Jeff I’m going to plant brassica for the fist time should I use fertilizer or lime or deer grow to help it grow I live North eastern Ontario so what do recommend thank you excellent video keep them coming out learning so much

Awesome Videos. Have you tried to plant into Buckwheat with your RTP Genesis for your late summer/fall plots?

I’m planting winter rye with in the next week should if there are still weeds should I spray before the seeds are put down or can you put the seeds down and spray. Let me know what you think

Put mine in last month of July here in Michigan. They have already eaten off one section. I was curious so I picked one of the tillage raddish and tried the leaf. It actually tasted a little sweet.

Hello from the Norwegian woods.. I'v planted brassica mix after the bockwheat notill system. Works great! But next year? Now its all brassica, is it importent to rotate? Is so , with what? Is'nt it enough with the rotation of bockwheat and brassica every year?

I watch alot of your videos and they help. But I wish you'd give tips on the southern states also NC. Are gun season is from October 16th - January 1st limit 2 buck 4 doe and can get 2 more doe tags if you fill them.

Jeff, I’ve been watching your videos on all topics over the last couple years but I am hyper focused on the food plot instructions lately. This year I was able to follow your instructions with the early spring and summer sprayings to get the weed control accomplished and also planted the buckwheat but I was late getting to my fields because of restrictions on movement due to COVID-19. Nonetheless, I had a nice field of buckwheat by Labor Day week and I then planted brassicas, clover, tillage radish (all very lightly) and then spread the winter rye over it, then crushed the buckwheat and hit it with the glyphosate all on 4 September. I had to do it all together because it is impossible for me to get to my land every month. I feel confident that the rye will come in nice but what do you think about the brassicas chances of viability? Also, I’ve watched several videos concerning the crop rotation but I still am not sure what you do with the rye in the spring time. Do you hit it with the glyphosate and 24D and then crush it with the cultipacker as you do with the buckwheat?

That long strip with straight edges? Is that because the topography undulates and that keeps the plot compartmentalized or other areas off camera got a lot of squiggle edge?

I planted soybeans in May imy rows are 36in apart spread brassica in with beans July 25 bare spots what can I use feel in not effect the brassica

Whats your thoughts on Forage brassicas that produce massive tops and smaller tubers? I see a lot of the local seed distributors have those in the mixes but the price for a forage brassica is about three times as much as say purple tops or tillage radishes which are around $ 2.25 per pound in my area. Just curious if they are worth the extra money?

What should be done if the brassica does rot in the spring?

I put half and acre of Whitetail Institute Wintergreen in Aug 1st in Southern NY. The deer including bucks are in the plot and stay while I’m mowing the rest of the field on my tractor. Unbelievable! I’m wondering if i should of waited another couple of weeks before i planted, even thought the instruction say July 15 - August 20. I hope the deer have it in Nov-Dec by the way they are hitting it now. I’m gonna wait until at least mid august to plant next year....what are your thoughts Jeff? I also planted 1.25 acres of Alpha Rack as well. It’s slow starting, but i expect it will be better in the spring.

On the mock scrapes, do you have to be careful to not cut/handle a poison ivy/oak vine when looking for a grape vine? Got my grains in 12 days ago, brassicas in today - getting our first rain in 25 days. Hoping the grains survive. Rye in 15-20 days I’m betting (KCMO). Thanks for the videos. I’m going to experiment and see if Triticale sprouts broadcasted in spots, Rye in the majority of areas. Can’t wait to draw in bucks. First year without summer food and the sporadic buck pics so far is nerve racking!

Hey Jeff as I was reading through the comments watching your video I just have one question for you. Your other videos you really do not hunt over food plots. So are you setting up the deer stand so your back is to the Food plot?

Hey Jeff great video as usual, one question though maybe I missed it, why didn't you do the ultimate no till on that plot?

Jeff, Can you tell me the Reason you will add Winter rye to the tillage Radish ? do they not compete with each other or is the radish grown enough it doesn't matter? Just curious , thanks your Great Content keep it up!

Is there anything that you can spray over sprouted radishes and turninips and not kill them? My spraying on that plot for some reason failed. The weeds are growing pretty good.

I planted my first brasca plot and I think it's to thick what can I do to help it. I planted last week of July. It's around 10 inches high .

Plot came in great fed urea 2 times deer won’t touch it any ideas would help

Thanks for the information Jeff. Do you ever suggest putting winter rye over top of viable brassicas if they are light in areas? If so how many weeks would you wait to give the brassica a head start? I will be around 4 weeks at Labor Day.

I planted about 3 acres or buckwheat trying to go to the no-till stuff and the deer seem to hammer that pretty hard and he left my beans alone is that normal?

What type of peas are you planting and when exactly are you planting them? What beans do you use and when do you plant them? And then the brassica mix kind and time that you plant?

Hey Jeff ,so I did Brassicas last year ,Soybeans this year ,mine are doing fantastic with a duel perimeter 3D exclusion fence. Have a few open spaces. So my question is,,Having done Brassicas last year , can I overseed with Brassicas? Even though I did them last year in this plot? I hear you say not to do Brassicas consecutively... Thank you 😊 Also am I hearing you correctly, its good to broadcast oats this time of the year ?? State College Pennsylvania ..

@Jeff. If mixed brassicas are a little light (bare areas) 1month after planting would you overseed with more of the same mix(kale, rape, raddish,turnip) ? Or just Raddish (like your prior video) or winter rye? Assuming no deer preference.

Jeff in an earlier video you had a WHS hat on. I went to the web store and couldn't find one on there . what's a guy to do ?

Helped John L.put his Brassica in 10 days ago .His mix bought locally also contained chicory,most radish and turnips have germinated with recent rains.Not knowing what chicory looks like when growing i dont know if it is growing,any thoughts Jeff? Thanks again!

Hey Jeff, I'm running late on my Dads property this year. I'm a paramedic in a super high covid area in Michigan. So my life has been crazy hectic. Anways, I ordered a ton of stuff from Northwoods including Brassica, tillish radish, Cereal rye rye grain, WHS forage blend and the fall forage blend. I would be planting it this week. Is there anything that I shouldn't be bothering to plant and just keep it for next year because I'm just too late? Or because I would be planting it all at once one would out compete the other making some of it a waste to plant? I am doing 3 1/3rd acre plots. 50lbs of rye per plot. And each plot doing half brassica/raddish and the other half the WHS and the fall blend. What do you think? Or should I plant all the other stuff this week and then do the rye in two weeks? Sorry for the long comment. Any advice by anyone would be appreciated.

Where can I find all these products?

So Jeff it won’t hurt to spray the plot start and round up the same day? Just asking if I have a few small weeds at planting, will the round up spraying affect the plot start?

Where do you buy your seeds for the food plots? Thank you for all of the videos very beneficial to me and the deer.

obviously you are really into deer hunting. that field with all that corn, i wouldnt expect to have to plant any thing else. that corn is really high. tractor supply sells a deer corn in 40 lb bags pretty cheap. do you recommend it?

When is the latest you would plant winter rye in wiscosnin?

so in youre video you said you use plot start after you seed and spray roundup, what are you using for fertilizer if you are not tilling the fertilizer in since its a first year plot?

How do you add the rye to a plot that already has soybeans or brassicas without crushing down your already existing plants

Jeff, 2 quarts per acre, how much water or what percentage solution? Just starting out.

I'm going to be planting my winter rye this coming week. Should I throw some radish seed with it?

Thanks Jeff! Sweet feast plots are looking great! Planted July 31st...... when did you recommend hitting it with 46-0-0 Urea again? When you do you must apply it just prior to a nice rain correct? Learning timing is very important! I have 300 pounds of winter rye on standby incase of plot failure...... do you ever never have to use it on your plots?

👍

I know a farmer who plants produce. And says the deer eat thousand of dollars worth of the produce each year. Will planting the brassica turnips keep the deer out of his produce?

Can you just seed on top of soil with out Plowing...i don't have equipment

What did you spray with and how long did you have to wait before applying the seed

did you say that you put 200lbs of rye over the top of the side with the Radish? I didn't think you should ever mix the two

Jeff, i just learned of hybrid brassicas from a company called Green Cover. Collards, turnips,and radish that regenerates as they are eaten, much like clover. I understand they are getting great reviews . Are you aware of these and wat are your thoughts? Apparently the seed was developed in New Zealand for the sheeping industry. Makes sense.

Does anyone plant brassica and spray for weeds on the same day?

Anybody have any experience planting brassicas in the south? Southwest Louisiana southeast Texas? Is it to early to plant? To late to plant?

How do you feel about sighting in guns right before Deer season, there are people shooting next to property now :(

Good morning! Off topic but..i have set up my square 40 using your methods. deer are sorta using my stand sight approach trails even tho i made them constricting and ending at my stand sights..i find tracks on them all the time and am concerned i will get busted if they use my trails. What can i do?

I’m up Jeff got that coffee going to

Thanks for the video Jeff! Just curious what brand of glyphosate u use to spray. I have used the Farmworks 41% glyphosate to spray twice this year and it has done a good job. But now I've got some weeds/grasses growing up in my plot again due to it being 8 weeks or so since I sprayed last. I had planned to plant by now, like mid August, but it has been so dry I am trying to wait for some rain in the forecast. I am planting a brassica mix like u talked about in this video. So I guess my question is, would I be good to spray again with that Farm Works 41% glyphosate and then plant that brassica mix right behind it. I know u mentioned u can seed right after glyphosate but I am wondering if it would be okay since this is only 41%. Didnt want whatever else is in there to kill my seed/crop.

what about fertilizing

Did the plot start work for you

Does clethodim kill brassicas?

I noticed you still have dead vegetation is it better to not harrow in the dead weeds

Still have not seen a before and after food plot?

My radish jumped out of the ground . Plus rye

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a video for us people down south you only ever mention the same 6 to 8 states and all of them are way up north
