👍 it was the most productive way to till that small plot without hauling more equipment to that property to get that plot in. And the most fun way too LOL
Good video. I like the 4 wheeler approach. Whatever works I say. Was looking for a few tips and saw this video and seen u have done alot more that I need to go back and watch, especially shed hunting. Just drilled a few plots in and video'd them. I am in north Arkansas here.
I had to use the ATV because this is a different property than the one where most my food plot videos are at and we would need to buy a car hauler trailer to get a trailer there. Using a atv to till up the ground is only practical on small plots like this. And drier ground doesn’t work as well. I wanted to till this plot because I didn’t have a cover crop to crimp over and hold the seeds if I did no till. I don’t like doing no till on bare dirt that’s compacted. The rain just washes the seed into piles.
Using atv may work out well. Best to try instead of hauling a bunch of equipment around. What part of Wisconsin u at? I am in the Ozark mountains here, and drilled soybeans in with my other seed,. These deer don't know what soybeans are!!!! LOL
@@wisconsinwhitetail9744 Michigan up in the thumb. I put out 400lbs of Wheat Rye & Oats last Saturday. We're had 2 day they said it might rain we go a 5 minute rain😡
@@patrothwell9138 i’ll be planting some rye here in the next couple weeks. It always amazes me how easy it is to grow a good rye plot versus a good Brassica plot.
Looks like the food plots are doing good! ATV worked pretty good turning that soil up! Looking forward to more videos! I am planting my last food plot this weekend, going to have my 8 and 6 year old grandsons spread the seed, that will be fun to watch! Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!
Using an ATV to till the soil only really works on wet soils like I had here. If you were to try this on a dry clay ground you wouldn’t even scratch the surface.
I see you have the best wheeler ever made (I have same one) but have you ever looked into buying one of them groundhog max atv disk? They really work great expecially in the soil that you have. I love mine for them spots a tractor can’t get to.
I looked at those groundhog max a couple years ago. That was before I started planting this plot it would be nice for these two areas. They are kind of pricey if I was doing more areas like this it would be worthwhile. This property is at least an hour drive with the tractor to get to and we don’t have a way to haul the tractor with a car hauler trailer so if I had more areas like this that I couldn’t get a tractor to it would be worth getting one. I’ve seen how good they do In videos.
Yes they are expensive. I see them a lot on Craigslist. Who knows maybe you’ll get a deal! But anyway I love your channel and your content it’s real world, real work with no sponsorships. I’ve learned a lot from you. I’m from western ny and up until two weeks ago we started getting rain. Haven’t had any since early June, winter greens and tillage radish didn’t amount to anything. Going to do oats/ rye next weekend just for something cheap and green.
@@shawneaston8896 wow didn’t realize the East Coast was having that bad of a drought. We’ve been getting rain almost every week the longest stretch without rain was probably two weeks. The grass never even turned yellow this summer. Last June was really dry here though.
Did you lime? You may just need some lime cause were that tree was probably has more nutrients cause brassica is a nute sucker, i have heard its not good to do brassica every yr, may need to do a buckweat early and restart to get your soil lined out, there is some kind of fungus in brassica if you plant to often, nice 4 wheeler trick!
Do you have any problem seeding your mixes with the larger Radish seed in it? It requires opening the seeder too much for the radish seed to pass through. I have started seeding radish separately from all the other really small seed which works better. Also, You didn't mention whether your mixes had lots of annual and perennial clover in it.
I haven’t had a problem. The radish seeds are just slightly bigger and it seems like they are pretty well dispersed throughout the Brassica plot. And no I don’t have any clover mixed in any of my Brassica plots this year.
Do your deer eat those big leaves? Around here they seem to like them before they get to that size. Once they get that big they won't get eaten until the deer pull them up out of the snow when there's nothing else green left. They also don't eat but the top half inch of the bulbs, even when I pull a bunch out for them. Just curious what you see.
They never really eat on any of my Brassicas other than the tillage radish much before mid to late November. We are in a big Ag area and there’s food everywhere. In the Northwoods I’m sure they would be hitting them more. Since we don’t have any corn and soybeans planted on this property for food plots the brassicas are the only thing they have in the winter and they hammer them a lot more than the brassicas on my grandparents farm where we have acres and acres of corn and soybeans for the deer in the winter. Some of the turnips they just ate the top half and left the bulb in the ground others they ripped out of the ground and ate the whole thing.
No. That could be the issue but it grew fine last year. I think it’s a nutrient deficiency. I’m going to do a soil sample for sure on this plot next spring.
That first smaller spot that’s wetter I may try just no-tilling it next year instead of just ripping it up. At least it’s good native swamp grass that’s coming in instead of weeds. That grass won’t get that tall anyways.
I have don’t that in many plots. But I don’t want to on this plot because I don’t want to deal with the rye coming back next year in this plot. Next year I plan on doing the buckwheat no til method in this plot but I don’t want to seed the buckwheat into the rye I did not get good germination that way.

Looking good got our last .plots in last weekend getting some rain tonight hope ours look as good as yours
Thanks 👍 I’ll be planting Rye pretty soon too.
Great video. Glad to see u guys r getting rin there.It is really Dry here we need rain here BAD.Keep the Brassicas food plots Coming bud👍
What state are you in? Here in Wisconsin we’ve been getting rain almost every week. The grass never even turned brown all summer.

@@wisconsinwhitetail9744 any idea how long Rye can b on the ground without rain & still Germinate?
@@patrothwell9138 long time. Weeks, it will grow.
I bet that was the most fun you’ve ever had tilling
Sure was 👍
you got to do what you Gotta do when you have a tractor on the property.

No I didn’t lime. The following year in this same plot I fertilized with 9-23-31 and it significantly helped. The whole plot looked good.

Up in the north woods of Minnesota the deer hammer the brassicas from September till they are gone including bulbs come December or January.

No. That could be the issue but it grew fine last year. I think it’s a nutrient deficiency. I’m going to do a soil sample for sure on this plot next spring.
Sounds like nematodes gotta rotate brassica plantings
I doubt it. I just looked nematodes up and found out that forage rape and canola are nematode suppressant crops.
Maybe the smaller grassy spots would do better with your no till method.
That first smaller spot that’s wetter I may try just no-tilling it next year instead of just ripping it up. At least it’s good native swamp grass that’s coming in instead of weeds. That grass won’t get that tall anyways.
You should add about 100lbs of rye to each plot…deer love it, it fills in the voids in your brassicas and suppresses weeds for the following year
I have don’t that in many plots. But I don’t want to on this plot because I don’t want to deal with the rye coming back next year in this plot.
