Here's 3 acres of your Carbon Load. I got a good rain shortly after planting on Aug 15, then it quit as usual. The grains component seemed to have burnt up to some degree, hope enough rye survived for spring coverage. Brassicas component look great! I didn't expect this high of a percentage of them in the mix but the plot turned out great. It will be interesting to see how usage is from now until the end of season.

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, a few things I would recommend. 1. Put up an exclusion fence so you can measure browse/species and seed rate. 2. Check back in spring to see if/how/where things fill back in, specifically the grains and annual clovers.
I really appreciate that feedback and the opportunity to earn your business. If you need anything at all - please contact me anytime.

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.
