- The best seed for you to plant in your next food plot may surprise you! WHY? Because it may not be the latest and greatest seed blend because they aren't a good fit for YOU and your soils, region, deer herd or your resources of time and money.Here is how to narrow it all down to what seed you should be planting in your food plots this season...

Thanks Jeff, last year was my 3rd year of doing your greens and brassica rotation. No fertilizer needed anymore. Always turns out in my all red clay soil!
That's great to hear Disc! Eventually you will need fertilizer tho...just have to keep an eye on it
Taking soil samples today
Just got the North Switchgrass mix, excited to get it in the ground!
That's awesome... appreciate it brother 😊👍
Jeff, thanks for all of the great content!
You are very welcome Chuck!
Jeff, this was my first year using WHS green blend on 1/2 and brassica on other half. Great results. As well as we laid eyes on all 4 mature bucks in daylight. Already started hand spreading lime yesterday. Thanks for the great insight
Don't over think this. Buy seeds of plants deer eat & plant them.
Hi Jeff love this video I'm so excited for this year plantings we had such good luck last year by just watching all the videos you and Dillon put out. Thank you so much for all the info that you guys put out it's just so awesome. We've made a lot of mistakes in the past but I think we're on the right track now thanks again and hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
Thanks again Jeff👍🏻🦌
You are very welcome!
This man knows what he's talking g about.
Sure does!
😂
Private potato? Is that you? Nah just kidding the glasses look good on you
Jeff,
If it as a new plot, can you do a 50/50 blend of Tillage Radish and Austrian peas to establish soil? If so, at that ratio would you do 50lbs of peas/acre instead of the usual 100lbs you recommend?
Sure a good time to buy seed.sometimes you can't get it.i always try to order no later than march.don't plant til aug.or later but i want it on hand.for the most part.buck wheat ,switch grass ,sorgum, peas n clover.usually early.
Will the WHS seed offerings be limited to switch grass, fall green blend, and brassica blend?
Hi Kyle! We have 14 of my blends I handcrafted...switch, screening, poor soil, brassica, clover, green blend, ground cover, pollinator, annual/perennial, plow down...we will also sell large quantity orders of buckwheat and annual rye. All based on my own food plot blends and research going back to the 90s 😊 within 2 weeks!
Hey Jeff Noticed the Glasses are they tri-focals and do they allow you to shoot Bow or Gun while wearing them?Mine will but had lower than normal lens placement for reading lens. Just wondering...
Jeff what will be more effective that the green/Rye setup. Neighbors double crop over 100acres of rye so I'm considering corn/sorghum/other to get the level of attraction back on the farm
In u.p. have lots of soft masses theN after nothing. Gonna plant some apples and pears. Gonna keep planting hard masses. Need to open property to get more fooliage for fall and winter. Like roadside blends. There is a reason you see deer feeding side of road. We are gluten free. So buckwheat, oats, and red clover are my favorites.
i have one question do you think alfalfa is good to plant mabe mixed with oats and mabe peas, bc a farmer plants our big field and can only plant stuff to bail what do you think would be best for deer in there? about 2 acers big, in Maryland
Hi Micah... alfalfa is a bad choice except for portions out West. That's a tough call! Using ag is bad in general? Peas are good... clover, then alfalfa?
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks that helps alot been trying to decide what to ask them to plant! if you have any other suggestions on what to plant or do just let me know thanks!
Deer won't touch my plot till the alfalfa is brown and done for the year, they love it
@@adammenke229 what state do you live in?
@@micahwilson7691
Wi, have oats, peas and brassicas in my plot and didn't touch it till Dec because of the alfalfa
👍🏼🦌🕺🏻
Any concerns with birds foot trefoil? I know it is considered invasive depending on who you ask. Maybe the deer browse it heavily enough that’s it’s not a problem?
Kentucky bow season opens September what can I plant that would be ready by then and all year long
When you can’t rotate BW after RYE cause plot is too small & deer pressure eat it all , is there a good alternative to the summer BW?
There is with tilling equipment..disc, tiller, etc. We have our Summer soil builder which is a plow down. Great alternative...but not if you can't till it under
Think the deer would feed on that buckwheat in Southern zone in ny around Binghamton area. Looking to astablish some new food plots there
I’m planning on adding pumpkins to my blend this year. Any thoughts??
Hi Kurt!! They can be outstanding mid to late season but sometimes need to be broken apart?
Hey Kurt, i put a pumpkin patch on one small plot for late muzzleloader every year and it's AWESOME in December 👍🏼
@@bowman8316 Plus I’m hoping to harvest a dozen or so just for Halloween fun!!
@@kurtpearson2793 right ! I do that too 👍🏼
Thanks again for passing on ur whitetail knowledge, Professor whitetail. Makes a ton of sense but I never thought of it.
I had good luck with winter wheat in ywrrible Rocky soil this year
With good soil (heavy, high ph) wheat does great!
First
Cheater-**edit** sorry Denny, you’re NOT a cheater, I’m just frustrated that my moon charts are failing. I’m switching to a food/bedding strategy but it’s a work in progress. Keep up the good work. This harvest is yours 👍well done.
Pure luck it came up as I was clicking on TH-cam
Good job Denny 😁
👍🏼🦌
@@kurtpearson2793 Haha 😆
Purchased the WHS fall green blend and brassicas. It all turned out very good. Besides the deer for some reason are not interested in the brassicas, planted 2 seasons on a rotation. Won’t be planting them again, thinking about doing late planted beans next year while the neighbors ag fields will be corn.
Bean and clover 👍🏼
@@bowman8316 The winter Rye has been a favorite from what I’ve noticed. I might try the crimson clover beside beans because I can plant the winter greens in a different spot now
Thanks for the videos. Keeping deer out of the garden and on the food plots is key on my moms small property.
where do i get your seed catalog ?
Hi Jerry! Our full compliment of seed products will be on our website during the middle of February...
I’m looking to do my first good plot this spring. Wanting to plant something to get them used to coming to this plot for food. In august I’ll replant for something that will last the winter. I live in west Tennessee. What recommendations would you have for the spring plot and then the winter plot?
Cant beat soybeans for establishing use... hope that helps !
@@bowman8316 will those also put nitrogen into my soil to make it richer?
@@bowman8316 my biggest problem with soybeans is that I have a 550 acre field across the road from me that was corn last year so will most likely be beans this year. What can I do to give them something they are attracted to that will attempt to pull them from the bean field or at least have them visit my plot once or twice a day?
@@ryanwalters694 i have same conditions on one property... thats tough
@@ryanwalters694 clover could help when the ag beans yellow
Man I had high hopes for your no till method this past season but the deer ate the buckwheat to the dirt....I'm talking 3acres worth. I ended up still having good results with plots tho
Hi Jeff! Love all of the valuable info in your videos! Which of your seed blends would you suggest I buy for the SC LowCountry?
I'd be interested for upstate South Carolina
Hi Jeff, do you ship to Canada?
Yes...but it depends. Can you email Jen at jenb.whs@gmail.com ?
My friend just ordered 20 lb bag of southern Perma for me. Super excited he put me on WHS
That's awesome Richard...must be a good friend 😁👍 hope you are having a great weekend!
Thanks Jeff, I’m going with wheat, tillage rad, and brassicas this year it’s fun trying new things.
It sure is!! Thank YOU!
Trying to create a small food plot (1/4 -1/2 acre) in the woods this year, would you recommend doing buckwheat over the summer and clover blend in august-September with the no till method?
Or just wait to do the clover blend for the fall?
Is there more information on your seed? It would be nice to see things like seeding method, preferred soil type, annual or perennial. For example I was going to purchase some of your Deer fence, but all I can find on the website is that its a screening blend. Is it switch grass blend, Egyptian wheat, something else? can I frost seed it, will it tolerate wet soil, will it even grow in my area?
stylish glasses. look great on you
How do you plant food plots in shorts and boots 😂I would have a ton of seed in my boots driving me crazy!
Jeff, have you every tried or heard of anyone trying mung beans instead of soy beans in a no-till planting? Smaller seed, shorter growing time, they seem ideal on paper for your 1/2 & 1/2 strategy.
How many acres of green base would be ideal to sustain 40 acres of cover with moderate-high deer numbers? (Lots of ag close by)
Bought a throw and grow before watching Jeff's videos. Still can't get rid of the rye grass
Not First
Ha, good job Kurt 😁
Your slippin
@@patrickanderson5727 I’ve completely lost my touch. It’s making me rethink my whole technique. 😡
In your ultimate no till food plot steps, when do you spray the deer grow?
Thanks Jeff!
You are very welcome!
