Man, that's awesome to hear...happy for you! It really works doesn't it?!

It's ok....can be very extremely ov t browsed in most ar as tho. 1st planted that combo and tested it over 20 years ago. Not a great summertime soil improver either. Depends on acres and if you need to build a deer herd or not. Decent fall mix but you have to add rye to it to make sure there is still food in it towards the heart of the season...it typically will be eaten down to the dirt.

I hope so too Mike!! Hopefully soon r don't have drought too, that set us back a bit last year.

So many!

That's perfect Tim! That quincloric will do wonders to completely eliminate that fox tail. Weed free is a VERY good thing 😊

It depends if you have poor soil or not, I’m doing a spring planting and a fall planting, I’m doing it to help my poor soil, but if I had good soil, I don’t think I would bother doing a summer crop.

@@kylepawelczyk163 Yeah, I planted a soil improvement blend, cover crop, and some screening blends the other day ahead of some heavy rain. I also planted some low forage seeds on my access trail and some clover on my pass through trail where I hunt. My main food plot won't go in until after the summer drought.

I have not only because they are a very poor fit until you get south of a midway point in central IL, IN, OH, PA, etc. North of that production and volume decreases as you move north, to a point of rarity in most of MN, WI, MI, northern PA, NY, etc. I've seen some incredible chestnut orchards in southern IN, OH and into WV. I had a client with over 40 trees all producing, but all of the nuts were gone by early bow season. Incredible trees...lots of volume, and I was down there to help him develop a food plot program for the actual hunting season and so he could build a herd and have a great hunt. Most of the deer left his land during the season. I'm in SE MN and SW WI and I wouldn't plant them around here...or recommend them other than something cool to play around with, but not count on in any way. I hope that helps! I've seen thousands of chestnuts sold to areas that should never plant them, by companies happy to sell them in areas where they won't grow or produce, or to folks that think they will be available during the hunting season where they won't. Not trying to be negative on them, but just trying to be realistic with them.

I think someone has already purchased some chestnut trees, and they want Jeff to justify their purchase. I like how Jeff doesn't sugarcoat his opinions and doesn't coat his seeds either. RESPECT

Jeff, been watching your content for awhile. Have some fruit/chestnut trees. Would you say bordering the northern edge of your plots with these trees would be an effective way to incorporate them for maximizing tonnage

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks Jeff, years ago my Grandparents had 2 Chestnut trees and produced well they lived 30 miles north of me. They lost them trees in the early 70's do to Blite. Trees are expensive now days, glad I have White Oak and Red. 👍🏻

Hi Ryan! Ours will go in the ground sometime in early June. But in the end it certainly depends on moisture! We have been starved for it lately, unfortunately

Hi D...it's usually a little slower than that, but you never know with the spring we are having!

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751There is already some established from last year.🤷🏻

Hi Justin! As long as the grass doesn't take over the hardwood regen then no problem at all!

Hi Justin! You can mow out the rye, or spray the field with Clethodim, which just kills the rye 😊

Really, layering rye is about your best option und r those conditions. 100#s mid August, then 100#s around labor day and 100 more if needed end of Sept.

That's really low! I would get at least a ton of lime on it along with a jug of deer grow plot start on it...then it should do well 😊

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 that's northern Michigan soil 😑

Plant Chestnut trees

I’m in southern Michigan to, Oakland county, I dream to own my own farm some day but I’m a long way away 😂 also what does organic farmer mean? Just that u don’t use and pesticides or anything on the crops?

Hi Dylan, the sun should cause growth you should never have to do that. We never have and I have never recommended that folks do...

Hi Ian, you just need to plant during mid to Late July, with moisture...

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thanks Jeff Appreciate all the good content 👌

It grows in the poorest of soils compared to just about anything else...but of course there are limits to everything! Good pH and adding fertilizer soles most problems...

Hi Steve, that's our Spring Perennial Drought Attack: www.purewildlifeblends.com/store/spring-perennial-drought-attack

Hope you like it Connor!

Today is Monday. Why am I even on stand?? For this.

Yep 😁

​@kurtpearson2793 haha.... We had a baby yesterday 😁 Set me back a bit, lol. Hope you had a Happy Easter Kurt!

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I wanted to say congratulations! Really happy for you two-

​@@kurtpearson2793thanks a lot Kurt 😊

Its normal to have snow storms in April...nearly every year a fairly big one. Last year we had hard crusted snow and snow on the ground from late early Dec to late March...never seeing the ground until then. What's unusual is not having snow cover the ground for weeks at a time in January, Feb and March. Really crazy!
