Need to plant something next weekend-help!

[First-light]

I have one food plot that is ready to go but I haven't got a clue what I want to put in there. Suggestions?????

It's on a travel rout leading to a big clover field.

oats or winter wheat, with red clover. still time for turnips. oats will be a quick  draw for deer,the winter wheat will make it thru the winter and give you a bonus spring plot for turkey. putting red clover will grow into next spring and when plowed under will boost nitrogen levels for your next plot.

Thanks!

At this time of year, a brassica plot would be a great choice. Last week I put in a turnip plot with ladino clover , Sugar beets and Broccolli Rabe. As G-man noted adding clover will boost nitrogen when you plow it under for next fall. Best of luck.

Normally i have a brassica plot in by now but i have been a little busy.

I was thinking of putting in some oats next weekend instead of the brassica.

Planting Oats this early you're taking a chance of them ranking out.  Unless you have a high deer population that won't let them get above 8-10 inches.

I love oats....the deer really hit them hard early season.  I plant them the last week in August-Labor day.  At 6-8 a bushel you can't go wrong.

brassicas are alright for this little one.

Nice picture, looks like your brassicas are off to a good start.

yeah, now i need to get some rain and position the camera to the rest of the field.  sprayed today. may plant more brassicas, or wheat, oats or possibly clover but need amendments for the soil.  probably wheat since i have 1 ac of brassica, one of oats (trails to the fields and edges to bring them in) &  four of clover. 1 to 2 left to do. .... ... .. .. ... .

Put in rape as the food plot. Mowed all my trails and even made some new trails close to some stands.

I just got done planting secret spot and I cut timber today to open up an area to plant a combo of secret with two diffirant turnips....Mr.B won't let me use the chain saws when alone...so I learned how to cut down trees with my trusty stihl pole pruner ;D ...took me a few years to get to trees this big...lol...cut a lot of trees today..planting tomorrow....all the brush was made into a blind and two "cover" walls to block view of my going to stand....piled lots of 5ft logs to dry a bit then cut for fire wood

You wacked down a maple tree?  What where you thinking? That is a big no make that a huge no no in my book.  You made every maple syrup producer just cringe lol.

[growalot]

Well I have to tell you ...hard maple-red oak and ash are the three most numerous trees on the property...maple being the most....that tree was leaning 60 degree angle over the lane way and not good for timber....and maple sugaring makes a logger cringe

hhahaha funny wdswtr we make maple syrup where i live but if a maple tree is in the way in my hunting spot sorry but its got to go hahaha.  with a split like that in the top it probably would of ended up breaking off any way
