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.
Sincerely -

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.

One of my favorite things to do for my plots
1. Edge feather
2. Plant soft mast (pears and apples). This plot now has 8 pear and apples around it. I always put them where they are off the field - so not to reduce plantable acres.

Got the cabin orchard done and also added trees around the cabin field. Should have many years of kids spotting deer from the house.

I have a nice spotting scope right in the back room. We are certainly blessed. This field is only a few years old and we’ve already harvested a few deer off it - one was a 7.5 year old buck. Both bottoms of to the left and right of that plot are heavy tsi. It just sets up perfect.
Thanks for the nice comment!!
Props on the tsi and edge feathering work around there. Love hearing and seeing the results of that.

One other tree added between plots and/next to them. Should have a lot of mast in a few years. I always bring the saw with me and take a min or two to cut junk around where I plant. That’ll feed deer and open canopy for the trees.
