Thanks Jeff for another good one. This one validates what I’ve been doing to improve my soil and to keep it from eroding away. The rotation of crops works terrific for growing better plants and bringing in the deer and turkey even on small kill plots. Love that whiteboard.
I like the whiteboard. It seems to help me. Looking forward to following your method this year. I've already sprayed my plots and plan on planting buckwheat in the coming weeks for cover crop. Really looking forward to that August planting though.
Looking to buy my first hunting property in southwest Michigan can’t wait to start my habitat improvement journey with all the knowledge and help you’ve put on your TH-cam channel! Not to mention your hunting advice I’ve implemented into my hunt!!!!!
Another great video Jeff. I have used a lot of your ideas on my 72 acer property here in SW Wisco. I was very successful last year thanks for sharing your knowledge. Heading down today for more work.
Great video! In a fallow field, where grass clumps exist, even after an effective kill there is a lot of grass clumps. Any tricks for planting buckwheat in these PA field conditions?
Great reminder vid! Would number 2 be a good plan for turkey in spring to? I don’t want to create a doe factory feeding through summer but I think turkey would like the clover in spring!
So when you have plot do you leave the rye and all go till you plant buck wheat again the following June or do you spray it in spring to kill off before planting buck wheat
Shot a turkey yesterday on last years brassica food plot that I frost seeded red clover on in March. The clover is already 2-3 inches tall and the deer are browsing it. I'll kill it in Aug. with R'up and plant winter rye.
Hi Daryl...that's awesome, congrats!! Make sure that you work in the clover...till, disc, etc. because the clover is too thick to allow the rye to germinate within, even if you kill it. You would have to kill the clover at least a month prior to get the rye enough soil and sun exposure to grow.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Love your vids and your advice is always spot on. However, I've been completely no-till on my plots for over 10 years. I do agree that my success with no-till is dependent on my drill. It's a Great Plains 10-06 no-till drill that I first bought to plant my soybeans as a commercial farmer. I upgraded to a bigger drill for my farming, but kept my GP 10 footer for my food plots.
Hey Jeff, I am attempting to start a new plot in clearings of planted pines (5th rowed), on my lease it is the most advantageous place I have found. I am planning on broadcasting seeds using the no till method. My issue is that there are tons of pine needles blocking the soil. Can I broadcast over them or should I try to remove them. Limited equipment available and burning is probably not an option. Thanks!
Hi Will, you still need to make sure you eliminate weeds. I would get ahold of a leaf blower to clear the needles. Make sure rain brings weeds, kill and then broadcast seeds on top according my EZ No Till Food Plot methods.
So I planted 50 pounds of winter rye last year and they never touched it till January and February. what do I plant for November that they will eat and go to my neighbors?
Not sure Jeremy...really depends on the neighbor's food. Cover. Deer numbers. Soil. Planting resources. Size of plots. Past experiences. That's 2 hours of interview time with my clients 😊 To find an appropriate answer for you specifically.
do you have a video on how to no till plant buckwheat? I have some areas where I had brassica that is now basically bare soil. Do I need to do something to make better soil to seed contact or just broadcast before a rain?
Hi Jon, no I can't...but I do schedule about 110 clients per year for my day job 😊 My contact information is on my web site and I book several months in advance...
I always comment and get no reply what about a video for us southern folks I love watching your videos and trust everything you say but I feel it’s all for the north

Thanks Jeff for all the reminders, getting excited about getting started on the food plots. Bob
Thanks Bob!! I hope you guys are well! This is an awesome time of the year...
Thanks Jeff👍 Have a great day all!
Dang good video Jeff, thanks for sharing your knowledge and information ✅💥✌️
That's great to hear Eddie...thank you!!

That's great to hear!! Really happy for you! Also, enjoy the weekend...perfect times for whitetail work!!

Yes you preached it all before but it's definitely a good sermon that I can continue to listen to thank you much
Jeff can you plant the brassicas and clover into the buckwheat too and crush it with the same results as the grains?
Purchased some land in southern zone NY looking foward to trying some of your food plot strategies. What do u think about chicory?
Great advice as always Jeff.

Another good one brother headed out to do another spraying and putting out 200 lb of powdered lime..
Oh boy Chris sounds like a great Saturday!! Have fun...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 lol way better than any day monday -friday lol
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 How long should I wait after spraying to put out powdered lime? Thanks for your videos!

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 ill be sure to take a picture with my EZ camera and show when its done. Thanks sir.
Thanks Jeff!
You are very welcome 👍
How do you plant your buckwheat without having to drill or till the soil?
Buckwheat germinated very well with just broadcasting on the soil before moderate rain. Can cultipack in too. Grows very easily
Jeff, how much should you plant if you have a 1/4 of an acre or even less? Thanks.
Great info as always

That's 2 hours of interview time with my clients 😊 To find an appropriate answer for you specifically.
Do the deer eat buckwheat or is it just used for soil improvement?
do you have a video on how to no till plant buckwheat? I have some areas where I had brassica that is now basically bare soil. Do I need to do something to make better soil to seed contact or just broadcast before a rain?
Simple answer! Yes!! Search “Buckwheat no till” and Jeff has several videos specifically on your question. Good luck and good hunting 👍
How do you suggest killing that clover for the next year plot rotations?
Hey Jeff if I send you a picture of the farm I have can you tell me my best options please
Hi Jon, no I can't...but I do schedule about 110 clients per year for my day job 😊 My contact information is on my web site and I book several months in advance...
Jeff, I only have about 1/3 acre opening in my fully wooded parcel. Is a 1/3 of an acre too small to split in half?
It isn’t. In other videos Jeff has said you can split a quarter acre in half.
Still waiting on a email from you guy's, about buying the how to guide.
Oats peas and beans or oats peas and wheat?
Oats, peas and beans...you can hold off on the oats if you want. Add rye (or wheat) about 5-6 weeks later

Mmmm coffee and deer
Ahhhh, I love Sat mornings. Relaxing with coffee too!!
Packer Maxx $700. Very affordable. I’m loaded. Chump change.
