Winter Wheat, Rye, Oats???
 

Hey, we just got 134 acres and have a few food plots, we planted and fertilized with green patch plus and clover, which started to come up nicely but has died, i was thinking of winter wheat which is how i ended up here, when do you plant ww, rye and oats, i thought the ww was planted in december or so, and any tips on the planting process would be awesome, thanks a lot in advance also, how do deer and turkey and bear and other wildlife like these crops? Thanks

In Delaware we start planting wheat this week, cant speak for Texas.

We started two weeks ago, but it takes us about 3 weekends to plant our
50+ plots.

In south AL we plant our plots the last week of september. We also have some wheat, oats, and a little rye.as well as turnips and collards and rape.

I planted winter wheat and oats on my plot about a month ago. They went without getting water for about 3-4 weeks, because we had a major dry spell.

But, it has rained for about 3 or 4 days now nonstop, and the plot is green and coming up great.

If you're going to plant, I say...plant now. That way it'll be up and runnin by the time winter hits and the firearms seasons come around. Good luck!
