Milo, and sugar beets are a spring planted crop. They were planted together. This was planted late June due to the drought. We had to wait to plant. I added winter peas in hope of making pods for November. I added rutabaga in mid July Rye and buckwheat in September
@@dmouse522we are trying to get folks to bury the seed. No till sounds cool and can work in certain situations. But with areas and minimal rain, bury the big seed if you can.
Couldn’t be happier with your screening this year. Next year I’m going to try a a side by side comparison of your brassica blend vs frigid forage BnB. You are spot on with the deer hitting the beechnuts, acorns, and apples right now vs the plots
I am ready to give up on my plots, This is the third year in a row with no rain after planting, I replanted 2 weeks ago with oats and rye and still no rain and none forecast , It really sucks spending all that money for nothing,
When terminating the rye in August whether you are rolling or mowing it, do you have to worry about allelopathic effects before putting down the Sweet Feast blend?
If we are planting into the red clover /rye side , the rye has been terminated already with a June mowing. If we are Rolling down rye for more rye (as in the rocky no till plot) there is no issues
Can you add a video of the mix for how you follow up on the red clover, oats, rye side? Just the steps of how to prepare it again for fall planting? My plots are outstanding this year thanks John
Great video. Very cool food plots. So my cereal grains were getting tall like yours and we don't have any frost in forecast for at least 3 weeks here in Northern Illinois. I went over the rye, oats, wheat with the brush hog and trimmed them to about 4-5 inches tall. There are almost limitless acorns this year and the deer seem content without the food plots so far. I know this will change in the coming weeks and they'll be in the plots. Do you see any issue with trimming cereal grains if you think they got too high because of lack of browse?

Good video good luck hunting John
You too
Wish I could get my rye and oats to grow as lush and tall as that. The deer just mow it down here…
Thanks Jon
I thought sugar beets and rutabagas were early summer plantings, why did you overseed the milo with them?
Milo and beets at the same time. Overseeded rutabagas later

Rye and buckwheat in September
You said around the 22:20 mark buckwheat everywhere? Even in the fall? Soil health??
Ya
Few reasons
Not the best soil
And we had a few broken bags to get rid of lol 🤷🏼♂️
Your food plots look lush and beautiful green! I’m jealous, just can’t get any rain in southern IL and IN :((
Not bad for pretty crappy soils
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 everything I’ve tried planting this fall has failed. Never get more than a 1/10 of rain in the whole month of sept
No till, no rain, no bueno. First year I've had this much trouble.

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Understood. But can't do it.

Just stockpiling food for cold weather

Hang in there
One rain can turn it all around
If the rye and oat seed is buried it can sit there for weeks

Down here in SC my plots are doin good but the deer are mowing them down and no rain for the last 2 weeks and no rain in the 10 day forecast
Lots of dry conditions now

I don’t worry about it up here
It’s like banking food
But there is no harm in mowing
