Yearling... With promise
Good morning everyone!
Pretty soon I will be planting a couple acres of food plots. I’ve decided I will for sure be planting it all at once. I am doing a mix of Winter Wheat, Winter Rye, Buck Forage Oats, turnips, maybe some radishes, and will seed a mix of clovers with it.
I like diversity. I’ve had success with this blend in the past. I always let my rye, wheat and oats stand next spring and summer and will not mow it. My main objective is to have lots of standing grains for turkeys to raise their poults and fawns to hide. It has worked great the last few years. Behind the tall grains the clover has come on string and mostly weed free.
Right now I am rotating out of a 4-5 year old clover field that has become weedy into the mixes I listed above. I sprayed last week and I am getting a good kill. I’ll check one more time right before planting and will spray anything still alive.
Please recommend the amount of lbs per acre of WW, WR, Buck Forage Oats, Turnips, Radishes, Clover blends such as ladino, Durana, medium red, crimson etc.
I realize that’s a lot of different seeds. It has worked in the past to be very effective for a fall kill plot, winter feeding, early spring green up, and summer bedding nesting and food all in one package!
I just don’t know the amounts I should be planting of each!
I will be using a county rental No-till drill for the grains and will be broadcasting the smaller seeds into dead thatch.
Thank you to everyone who can help me out!
