Ford Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Went Winter Rye this year on the half acre food plot. Planted a bit earlier this year, rototilled the clover in. Pelletized lime, plus fertilizer. Then it rained. Next day it really poured for a long time. So we will see. Oh, I always through down some clover as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolc123 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I just got back from a quick check of my winter wheat (deer like that a bit better than rye, but it uses more nitrogen)/soybean/white clover plots that I put in just over a week ago. Everything was sprouted up real good and there was a group of turkeys out there eating the sprouted soybeans. The rain we have been getting over the last couple weeks has been just right for some great looking plots at this stage. Even the corn plots planted this spring are now looking good and I spooked a doe and fawn out of one when I rode around it on my mountain bike yesterday afternoon. The coons are hitting those hard already however and I will definitely need to trap them heavy this fall if I expect any to last until gun season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_C Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I put in a half acre of winter rye and a half acre of oats yesterday. I over seeded it with turnips and radish. The half acre I planted it radish, turnips, and beets on 8/7 is up about 4-6 inches. Will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I have found, the more success in plots you have, the harder it is to decide on what stand to be in Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
