Weed and Feed for a food plot

I bought some close out fertilzer from my local TSC store.
(5 bucks for a 50 pound bag) I meant to get the plain old
27-3-6 but got the stuff with the 2-4-D instead.

I'm pretty sure that I've been told this would be ok to use for my corn next year (the 2-4-D will kill the broadleaf weeds). But would it be ok on
winter wheat, rye and/or oats? I'm sure I wouldn't want to use it on my rape.Does the 2-4-D carry over? If I can useit on winter wheat would it be ok to plant rape or clover there next year?

RE: Weed and Feed for a food plot

The only time you have to be concerned with 2,4,D is if you use extremely high amounts, on the label it says wait three months before planting.

Good luck.
