RE: How's your food plots doing? (pix)
We started to get some rain here in NW Wi. late Aug. just after I planted my plots. One was from Briar Ridge called Buck's Banquet whick has turnips, rape and sugar beets. The plot was doing great with the plants getting about 8 inches high and real lush. I checked it about 2 weeks ago and saw that the deer starting to eat the tops and as of now I'm growing a patch of stems. I also planted some field rye and it is doing real good and the deer are hitting it also.

Visited both our places on Tuesday. The oats planted on 14-15 September are doing real good and the deer are hitting them. Planted some moreplots on Tuesday. One of those places is in wheat country.Given a choice between wheat and oats,deer prefer oats. Will plant another one acre plot next week after therain that is forecast. Like to plant oats when the ground is wet.

Do you have deer eat the leaves on the turnips early in the season.I planted some last year and the deer only ate the bulbs afterthe ground froze in Decembe andpushed them up out of the ground. The deer didnt seem to like the leaves.

The deer have started eating on the beans. Some have taken a hit from the hard frost, especially the one on a hill top.
The deer hadn't touched the Buck Forage Oats when I checked on Tuesday.
