heck ya!! Way to go!!

Monitoring browse pressure is so critical to the success of future plots and harvest goals. Unless your foodplot or garden is completely absent of deer browse - be sure to use exclusion fences so you can see potential vs. actual growth.

Wow, thank you very much for the feedback. We try to pride ourselves on having 10% of the mix in brassicas, as many like to buy inexpensive grains elsewhere. For the grains that burned up, that should only be the oats. The rye/wheat/triticale should overwinter. If it is my mix or someone else's...
