Food Plot Help....
 

This spring/summer i planted a 1/4 acre food plot with shot plot food plot seed along with soybeans and corn. Due to lack of sunlight and choaking out from weeeds my plot died. I want to try again this fall. What all should i plant? and what kind of seed? thanks for the help.

If it's that bad, if you don't get some sunlight in there you are just about wasting your time and money. Get a limbing saw and a ladder and open it up some..

whatever works with your climate, soil type, sunlight/water, etc.

RE: Food Plot Help....
 

Winter Wheat, Rye, Oats, Triticale are the common fall plantings around here.

I'm with Wis....find out what best suits your climate and soil type, the rest can be figured out easily enough.

Try a mixture of brassicas,clover,wheat and turnips.....the brassicas and turnips will do good in the fall,the wheat should last all winter and the clover may take hold and last for several years.Then you can move the food plot over a few feet/yards after a year or 2 if the clover does well and make another food plot.I've also frost seeded the Whitetail Institute clover,the Pennington Clover Trioand Red Clover in the early spring and it has done really well along the field edges,logging roadsand tree lines along the open fields!

We are planting several Food Plots this weekend and we are planting 1/2 of the larger food plots in wheat then the other 1/2 I have several types of seeds to mix in to see what works the best!I have 5 lbs of purple top turnips seeds,2 lbs of Cow Peas,16 lbs of Secret Spot,5 lbs of Hot Spot,5 lbs of Thro & Gro,5 lbs of Shot Plot and 20 lbs of Green Patch Plus.Lots of Rape Seed in there,brassicas,all types of clovers,wheat and oats and several other types of seeds.

winter rye, oats or wheat in the order for me, you can add some brassicas or clover with it as well.
