WHAT ARE THE VERY BEST BRASSICAS TO PLANT FOR DEER?

- What is the best brassica variety to plant? Most guys buy a bag of brassica mix that has turnips, sugar beets or radishes. If some of it grows well, then its good for attracting deer.
Conventional wisdom is that brassicas are not palatable until frost, but that is not true. its a matter of the hierarchy of what is available at the buffet you have for deer on your land.
If brassicas are the most nutrient dense food on the landscape at any particular time, they will eat it. When fall comes and you have freshly planted cool season plants available, like brassicas, they will be the most desirable plant.
I have found over the years that hybrid brassicas such as rape/kale or rape/turnip crosses seem to be more palatable and insect resistant. I find that turnips are the worst to plant in the spring. But, after Labor Day, it probably doesn't matter much what you plant, they are all attractive to deer.
The other things to consider, are the cold and browse tolerance. I find that kale and collards are the most cold tolerant. Collards are very tolerant to browsing and will sprout back from the root very well.
So, my favorite brassicas are hybrids and collards. Mixed with clover and cereal grains, they make a terrific fall attraction and forage for deer.

I tried just about all of that in south Georgia. The deer didn't touch the rape but demolished the collards and purple top turnips. I didnt have any radishes in the mix. But I've got some plots I've planted in middle GA just lats week. Oats two varieties, winter wheat, triticale, with arrowleaf, regalgraze white, Barbaro red clovers forage chicory barkant turnip hybrid forage rape Daikin radish. Deer were in the plot that afternoon. And have been visiting everyday waiting. Went back yesterday and layered some more of the cereal grains and I already had germination of everything. Looks like it'll be a good year. Goodluck to everyone.
in GA I probably would not even bother with brassicas since you can have cereal grains and clover Palatable through the winter
Shirt of year!
I sure do miss the real president of the United States.
@@ChilcoteForestryServices yes sir!
Let’s go Br4ndon!!
Blazing Saddles cutaway got me haha! Go information also..
Mel brooks was a genious. Nobody gets that movie today
@@ChilcoteForestryServices I still love that movie
Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure what the largest brassicas were in some of my mixes on the farm in WV. Now I'm certain from the video they were collards. When I'm doing mixes I'll make sure I have them in there.
that big one is still growing now in December after being mowed off twice
Forage collards were great through October but, purple top turnips bulbs are my main draw from November into January.
What state are you in? I’m hearing the collards don’t attract deer. I haven’t planted them yet so I’m a little worried. I am in southern NY
Great info! Nice vid and Thanks for sharing ur knowledge!
You are welcome
Kale, ground hog radish, chicory clovers. (4 or 5 varieties of clover) peas. 1 mth later add 200 lbs rye and wheat.
Sounds like a good system
Winifred are browse tolerant as well.
Love that shirt! Look at my profile pic!!!! MAGA
What state are you in?
I'm doing a brassica and then gonna layer in winter wheat, im going super thin on brassica and then month or ao later go heavy on wheat then apply urea! Im in KY and depending on rain im shooting for 2nd 3rd week of August to plant brassica and 3-4 weeks later layer in wheat!
I work on properties all over but cenyral PA is home
Sugar beets are a waste of time. Beets require spring planting to reach maturity, but the most effective brassica planting in my area is mid to late August depending on moisture forecast. A Spring planted brassica stand in Michigan will be useless by hunting season.
I try to plant with soil health and year-round food supply. If we can achieve living roots in the soil and diverse forage and cover, that will be the best for the environment. I dont recommend to clients they use only "bait" plots for hunting but to establish a good supply of food, cover, security at all times. Brassicas are in my mixes but never a stand alone crop. Thats a waste of space in my opinion. They do quiet well in a spring mix but dont make forage alone. Fall is ok but they are usually decimated by hunting season or untouched,depending on what alternatives deer have. Clover is just a good in the same season as brassicas. I could go on and on.
@@ChilcoteForestryServices I'm in Southern Michigan, and my program is to have about half my plots in perennials (clover and alfalfa mainly) for warm season food, and then the other half I rotate with a late planted brassica mix and a forage grain mix (oats, rye, wheat). Once we get to October, the deer are typically done with the clover and alfalfa as it is past prime, but they smash the brassicas from October through the winter. The grain mix isn't as great in the Fall, but they paw at it all Winter as a source of sustenance, and it greens up really early in the Spring. In the summer I mow it when it gets about thigh high, and then till it in. It makes a great soil for brassicas. When the crops come down, a nice lush field of turnips and radishes is a magnet in this area. So I have food 365 days, but in this area we can't rely on perennials alone because once they get frosted they lose a lot of attraction.
I’m in southern WV I planted a food plot two years in a row with different mixes and had no luck with the deer eating it what would you recommend I planted I have a small 10 acre parcel
Give me a xall tomorrow to discuss
Mix in a little bit of peas or beans to get them started.
If you were to mix clovers and winter wheat with collards and radishes, how many pds of each per acre and can you add winter peas
8lbs clover, 40 lbs wheat, 30 peas, 4-6 lbs brassica, depending on the browse pressure. They need spacr to get big. If deer are eating the wheat, they will do well, then wheat, clover and peas will come in spring
@@ChilcoteForestryServices thank you
Had a lot of luck with radish and collards 👍
The best thing about radish is that it will drill through some serious hard pan if you have that problem
I tried your collards in a small area of my soybean (separate) .planted in spring and they grew really well but deer are not eating them,also going to plant someone in late August in my fall mixture. Do deer like them better in the fall.thanks for your opinion.
Yes. Brassicas will never compete with soybeans. Hybrid rape seems to work best in summer
Needs a couple frost on greens, it'll make the leaves sweeten up to the deer, they are bitter before frost
@@seans1447 the sweetening after first frost is a complete myth. The biologists have done many studies on this.
@@Rcol4427Correct. Its not that they’re sweeter. Its because its the only thing green available at the time.

Anyone have a good brand of collard? I’m in southern ny and the deer hit my brassicas early. This seems like it may last longer. Where can i get them. I will certainly try them next year. That’s for the info Steve, i never heard of these!
Hey man, thanks for watching. YT seems to like this video. Anyway, ny has good soil and weather for cool season plants. I suggest mixing brassicas in with lots of winter peas, clover, oats. I get my seeds from Green Cover Seeds. Im working on a food plot course so stay tuned for that. Any questions give me a call.
@@ChilcoteForestryServices Steve, some food plot experts claim that collard and kale are not very palatable to whitetails. They have planted it and it is untouched until it dies. What is your experience with it . I’m in southern NY
Surprised you didn’t mention kale much.
Kale is very cold tolerant. I like to use hybrids tho as they can be a little coarse.
Where can I find these collard seeds?
Green cover seeds has them
@@ChilcoteForestryServices I commented to soon, I saw the link in the description, went to their site. I’m probably gonna order a bunch of collards.
dump the trump
YEAH! All that peace and prosperty really sucked. Much better now we mMarxists back in charge.
Anti America marxist Biden voters are welcome to stay off my channel
LETS GO BRANDON!
@@ChilcoteForestryServices OK no problem you right wing fascist
How’s the love for Joe now? Jimmy Carter is smiling because he’s no longer the worst President in US history
@@ChilcoteForestryServices Trump is a Criminal always was always will be! Sad you were fooled, the Republicans pulled him out of Alex Jones's Butt Crack, and they were warned!
Also if their was a Lab Leak in Wuhan it's because Trump Allowed the Gain of Function Ban too be lifted in 2017.
Sad people can't see Trump created his own problems, and really screwed up big time, Hope 🦊 Fraud News pays Dominion out the butt, Rupert Murdoch deserves to lose everything!
I appreciate your information on food plots we are doing mostly high protein food plots no tilled in, with cowpeas Labb Labb, Sun Hemp, and Cowpeas with Egyptian wheat for bedding, we also have persimmons, Chestnuts, Pears, apples, Clover, Alfalfa, and Chicory once crops are harvested we plant winter wheat, we also Drill in Purple top Turnips, and brassica though we do have too spray for army worms in the fall.
Chicory does better in a clover mix, that in a cover crop mix, we also use Okra and Cow peas as a screen cover!
Also trying some Lambquarters and other natural Brouse where appropriate.
