- There are many brassica blends on the market, and a few are pretty darn bad! Here is a great way to spot the bad ones so that you can get the most out of your brassica food plot this Fall...
*From our brassica bo nfs to our Green Max Traffic blends, all 12 of our NEW WHS Seed Blends are available for purchase right now! Check out our new seed blend website....

It’s amazing the stuff I overlooked over the years until I found this channel! Wow how much of a better hunter you have made me
Thanks a lot Drew, we appreciate you! And I love to hear it...very happy for you!
Thanks Jeff, hard to believe planting time is just over two months away
Finally made it down to Mom and Dad’s- our hunting land is ripe and growing like mad. Found out my cousin (who shares our land) has 20+ cameras this year. I think I convinced him!! (Tactacam!!) He thought I was crazy 2 years ago having one!!
Haha...man that's awesome Kurt 😊 Great cameras too 👍
Jeff , hope your camp kicking bear event goes great.would really like to attend sometime
Thanks a lot Norm I hope that you can...would be great to see you!
I agree the designer brassicas are not preferred. I'm lucky that my deer prefer dwarf essex rape and tillage radish. They don't touch the other stuff.
I plan on putting some electric fence tape used for horses and a solar shocker around my brassica plot this year just to give the plants a chance to get to decent size then remove it in October
Had a fawn playing with my horses yesterday mid day it was born in the last week
Very cool Dylan! I've seen them playing with rabbits...they are very playful it seems!
Hi Jeff. I found a fawn dead in one of my water holes last week. Water holes have probably been in for five years and that is the first I have seen that happen. Have you ever lost a fawn this way in your experiences?
Hi Rich! I had a fawn get into one, and it's mother helped it get out. I've definitely heard of it, but pretty rare...feel bad for that fawn!
Is there a podcast coming out this week?
Jeff, what is your opinion of milo or grain sorghum for deer? Alot of folks in SW MO swear by it. It also helps the other critters.
Hi Alan! Very low value for deer compared to corn and certainly a lot of other plantings. It works in areas of high deer densities and low overall levels of local habitat forage value. For example we use grain sorghum in our screening blend mixed with Egyptian Wheat...because you can count on the deer not eating it. Milo is in the same boat ..limited forage value in most areas. If either of those are needed for other critters there is typically a major problem with the local habitat...
Thanks Jeff!
I just planted a clover plot. Roughly 1 acre. In August, can I no -till brassica's (Radish-turnip) in that clover plot for the fall hunting?
Hi Lois you can not. The clover will shade out the brassica germination, unfortunately. Unless there is at least 50-60% soil exposure and the clover is growing poorly with no weed cover...
So your not changing your blends to improve profit margins? Why would you change up the mix or ratio from last year if it’s something that works. Seems odd
No we don't add cheap seeds or fillers or lime to change profit margins. But just like I have from the late 90s, I always tweak blends...%s, a new seed variety or get rid of something that isn't doing what I like within the blend. Always chasing perfection. But again, we don't add lime coatings, ryegrass, dwarf essox rape to improve profit margins...and we don't add buzzword seeds that don't contribute to the blend, just to suck your money. Most companies do, and some are unaware due to lack of experience, some do it to improve profit margins and some because of both.
What if your customers liked what was in the blend last year? I understand always striving to improve but there has to be a version over last 30 years that works. Maybe a core offering and then a couple blends your trying out vs changing each year. Again positive feedback from the blend last year that performed well now it’s changed.
Instead of buckwheat can you let cereal rye grow all spring and summer? Then for fall sow brassica or green blend, spray, roll/mow?
Hi Clayton, you can not, for several reasons. The rye becomes too thick and tall, and takes years to break down. It also developed a seed head that will fall, germinate and out compete anything and everything you plant. The rye will also grow several weeks prior to when you should be planting it, making your plot useless. A really bad thing to do...figured that out to thru trial and error nearly 25 years ago.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you Jeff. I will head back to the drawing board! 👍
Yes I let my rye get 6ft tall from being to busy and I really should of made time to just spray it did look like it might of worked once I flattened it but all I had was ATV plot mule basically discs and it took forever to get good soil showing the soybeans I planted there did well but I worked the soil and there's still dead rye in it a year later when I sprayed and worked it again
Not to get off the subject but what kind/type branch do you prefer for a licking/rubbing branch?? (the home made ones that hang by a rope.
Can I use your BIG BOOST BRASSICA on a no till plot?
You sure can!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you, I will try it out.
Podcast this week??
Hi Marv! We are hoping to shoot one tonight for tomorrow 😊
When should I mow last year's rye plots?
Hi John, I killed mine when it was 8 to 10" high. But I would mow before it gets to 15/20" high.
I own 18 acres and I have planted brassicas and turnips for 3 years. I’m done with it. Deer don’t even touch it.
Wny is in a bad drought already ! WTH
Hopefully that means that the rain will be coming in August 😊
Central Wi same, non irrigated turf is going dormant already. Corn crop is off to bad start
What's swiss chard
Not sure?
Is good plant in the garden fry it with bacon and eggs just like collard greens or dandelion greens it's good poor people food
Deer Creek adds it to their beats and sweets blend
Sugar Beats?😂
🤣
