I have a poultry litter company in North East Arkansas, broiler chicken litter is the king of fertilizer. I usually have it sold before I even have it. One thing that I have found out that chicken/turkey litter is a 4 year release blend. 1 year you will get 25% of nutrients in the litter, second year you will get 50% third year 75% and on the 4th year you will have used up all of the nutrients that the litter had to offer then it would be time to reapply. Several studies have been done on it. The pellet litter is very interesting. I’d really like to know how much 1 ton of the pellet runs as to 1 ton of the original cake litter. Very interesting video. I’ve seen the results and i’ve got a whole sales book to prove it.
This will go down as a revolutionary video. People in the health community have been preaching about "dead soil" for years and what it does to human health, not to mention the long term side effects of eating animals consuming plants and forage hit with all those chemicals. So well done thank you for opening the hunting community up to this.
We switched our plots fertilizer last year after learning about what White Oak Pastures has done. We were shocked! Organic materials in the soil is huge! Great episode, thank you for sharing.
Lee & Tiffany, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for putting this video out. You are the first ones I have heard say publicly that you eat what the deer eat.... I have been saying for years the same thing. I was a Chem major in college and "we are what we eat!" There is more I want to say on the matter however, I will end on that... Kudos to you both! Love the videos!~
Healthier soils thru the soil micro biome = healthy plants . Tmi to explain it all. You are on the right track . Focus on soil health and it will produce . The soil health principles . Great vid .
Very informative,best part was a boy being a boy ,climbing to the top of the turkey pellets pile,more kids need to put there computers down to get out in the outdoors and be the king of the turkey mound
For those who don’t have access to turkey pellets or manure do you think miloganite would work well? As an added bonus the smell might deter deer away while the plants are first getting established. As someone who went to school for horticulture I find this info awesome! I grew a 1989 pound pumpkin back in 2022 and I try to use that knowledge of fertilizer and growth toward my food plot programs!
Really like these types of videos!!! I’ve always tried to make my 2 acres in plots the best I can, so learning from the best can take my plots to the next level
Yes please. I spread turkey manure with a manure spreader I bought on Facebook for a few seasons. But it gave me fungal pneumonia for 2 years. Make sure to wear masks!
You fellow in the midwest would be amazed at how much your soil health would be if you went no till been been doing it on our fram for close 40 yrs. 350 ac corn and 100 beans and 100ac. Alfalfa
Medina Agriculture sells pelletized organic fertilizer here in Texas made with poultry manure. Stuff works great. They even sell it at our local H-E-B grocery stores!
Was just thinking about doing this same thing. Do you have someone i can email with more info.? I see literally tons of chicken manure and compost going to waste. Thanks
Great video! Two comments: (1) It would be great if the pelletized turkey manure could be reduced in size so it could be applied by a normal 3PH spreader. (2) I hope to see you practice regenerative (no-till, cover crops, etc.) farming for your food plots (as I do). This seems to be the future of farming, and there is not much RUclips content on for food plots. Thank you!
Chicken manure is the steroids of fertilizer. In Maine I mostly spread cow manure on my hay fields, but it's a whole different ball game with chicken or turkey manure. Grass so green it almost looks blue. It also seems to provide more for a longer period. Yields are incredible.
Try dissolving and applying turkey pellet manure into liquid mixed with molasses and fermented lucrene via centre pivot irrigation. Let me know what you get on the crop performance and soil pH. I always say we dont grow the crop but the soil! P.S. Agronomist Tinashe Mutengwa from Zimbabwe
Your constant plowing and top soil loss to wind/wash, etc is deteriorating your soil quality. Strat taking half your plots and do No Till and I believe you will start to see a difference immediately. Look into the loss of top soil in IOWA farm country where all they do is plow. They are down like 15" over a few decades I believe.
Interesting. I’m not sure why you can’t spread it as compost and work it in the next day or two… making manure so much cheaper. I understand money isn’t an issue considering those using $400k tractors for solely food plots, just think nutrient value.
Aren’t you worried about the antibiotics and other stuff the turkeys are fed… Our turkey population in KY has been going down since the farmers have been using chicken poop for fertilizer
Valid concern for sure. But the facility that makes these pellets is a certified organic producer, meaning that it’s all organic from start to finish. They are using their own waste to make the pellet product that we’re using.
I think that statement a solution to a problem. You had a problem you didn't know there was a cost effective solution for. All those learned men going to those big agriculutural colleges were taught by men paid to steer industry to their solution (oil). What ever solution uses more oil, thats the solution the textbooks and professors are paid extremely well to teach young ag students in the 1920s and 30s. And to this day.
Absolutely love each upload! So much information to absorb and the production of these videos make it so enjoyable to watch. Thank you guys!

Hey Lee, on top of the organic fertilizer you're using, you could also switch to no till to help with soil moisture issues.
Great video! All farmers need to start using this method and try no till. We need to bring our soil back to life.

Thanks so much Lee! This is a big deal. What a smart young man!
I think you are spot on! Old way is not always the best way! Nature's way is the best way!

Would love to see you guys work with Green cover seed, maybe just on a few food plots to see what works the best. What could it hurt?
Good Video… I’m trying the Humic Acid from RWWP on my plots this year.
One more thing, it takes 8 years for 1 inch of soil to rebond with the appropriate nutrients after it is tilled up....
So Much Valuable Information Lee Thank You!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️

I will anxiously await your results video. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to see the results.
Great video I’ll keep that idea in mind
Awesome video And Great Review Lee I’ll keep that idea in my pocket!

well done i thank you so much love your ideals keep them coming !!!!!!
Are you gonna package this for the home gardeners?
Hi i have a farm in Northern Missouri. Just wondering how do i get a hold of some turkey manure? Thank you
The website and phone numbers are in the video description. Thanks for watching!
Please look into PFAS I hope you didn’t just destroy your property, i don’t know what is in the turkey feed.

Hi, what's your Bacteria to Fungal ratio in your soil?
Good show
Never knew this.
Good stuff

I've used poop fert on my lawn for years.

1st
Why did you delete my comment? I was trying to help you out. Good luck
Way too technical for me to understand....
all this for a deer
Most important lesson here? Listen to your wife!
Organic food plots lol
Y’all need to learn who Grant with growing deer is that’s who y’all need to be fallen the Buffalo system
So you are really feeding this s*** to the deer
