Two questions for you Jared Foliar fertilizers-what are you using? Have you tried Diesel Exhaust Fluid DEF for any plot fertilizing? It’s basically Urea as per the label, it would seem to be a very inexpensive way to get nitrogen on the ground but I have no idea on how to calculate a per acre application rate? I did use it with a homemade sprayer added to the front of each planter unit, my corn planter, my corn does look fantastic this year but it’s also been a banner weather growing year. Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated thanks
This is the way I've been doing all my small plots the last three years. Only difference is I spray during the dry/hot part of early to mid July. I come back 2 weeks later to broadcast the seed and use a bush hog to mow down the dead vegetation over the new seed which also works the seed down to the soil.
In general, the smaller the better just because you're really only relying on rain to work the seed just into the ground. Seeds such as clover, chicory, turnips, etc. When you start talking bigger seeds, those like to be a little deeper into the soil typically. Not saying you can't get decent germination out of those, but it's not going to be as good as the smaller seeds.
Thanks Jared, I just got my 2 bags of rut greens plus and my big bag of no huddle in. Thanks for that discount code. I got that 3 nozzle boom too. Handy as heck! Thanks again man. Lookin forward to gettin some seed in the ground.
Good use of time Jared. Thanks for sharing! I tried Imox select herbicide as an attempt at a one-step grass and broadleaf killer in my clover plots and it did great on the grass, but not broadleaf weeds. Back to 2,4D-B as you suggested before. 👍🏼
Thanks man. I had good luck with the Imazamox this year on my clover and chicory plots at 4 oz per acre, but it's possible we were dealing with different broadleaf weeds. Thanks for watching!
I’m always excited for spring planting but more so for fall planting! Season is right around the corner and with the good moisture this summer in Iowa, plots are responding well! Thanks, for the awesome content!
This is the same approach/system I take. If I can do it…ANYBODY can. 1/4 acres of brassicas last season had deer in it 24/7 until they ate it the ground 😂
Agreed. It's as simple as it gets. It requires the right amount of rain, but if you get good seed to soil contact, it's about as good as any other method with those small seeds.
@@jaredmills 1st week of August feels a little early to me, any particular reason? Your frost date may be sooner than mine. I’ll be trying to hold out until last week of August or 1st of September.
@@Leehealy-wheninthewoods Yeah I'm not sure where you're located, I am in Iowa. My ideal planting time is the first week of August here for straight brassicas. However, I give myself a pretty big window, roughly July 20th to August 20th, and try to focus on planting based on the weather forecast at that point and not necessarily a calendar date. Also, my average first frost date is in the second week of October.
Hey jared as always awesome video. So u say as long as we spray with a contact killer we can seed immediately. Is 2-4-d considered a contact killer lol. And the stuff u use the glysofate or however u spell it lol, is that the “scientific name” for the spray or are there different types of that? And for the record u make this plot planting and growing interesting. Ur an inspiration for sure. Thanks.
Thanks John, I appreciate you watching. 2,4-d unfortunately will have some residual associated with it, so if you include that, you'll want to wait to seed. It can depend on the weather but to be safe I'd say 10-14 days in my experience. And when I say glyphosate, it's Roundup. Glyphosate is the active ingredient. Hope that helps.
@@johnbelusko6347 If you're looking for an all around fall food plot, the One Plot ASAP that I have in the description is hard to beat. I'm a big fan of that blend.
Two questions for you Jared
Foliar fertilizers-what are you using?
Have you tried Diesel Exhaust Fluid DEF for any plot fertilizing? It’s basically Urea as per the label, it would seem to be a very inexpensive way to get nitrogen on the ground but I have no idea on how to calculate a per acre application rate?
I did use it with a homemade sprayer added to the front of each planter unit, my corn planter, my corn does look fantastic this year but it’s also been a banner weather growing year. Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated thanks

You should spray walking backwards, that way you're not marinating your feet and shins in chemical
Well you want to see where you're going in case of rocks or sticks. He should be in full PPE is the bigger issue.
Had you done soil tests, or were you applying the fertilizer as a good balanced ratio without testing?
Did I worry you that you sprayed right before a rain? Do they recommend gly being rain proof after an hour or so? Great video
In my experience, as long as I've given it 20-30 minutes prior to rain, I have still gotten a good kill with glyphosate. Thanks!
What seeds can you do this with vs what not?
In general, the smaller the better just because you're really only relying on rain to work the seed just into the ground. Seeds such as clover, chicory, turnips, etc. When you start talking bigger seeds, those like to be a little deeper into the soil typically. Not saying you can't get decent germination out of those, but it's not going to be as good as the smaller seeds.
@@jaredmills good to know thanks for the reply!
How long can that blend sit without rain? Central Missouri
What’s the sprayer and attachment for the three nozzle again?
The link is in the description
Hey Brock, I linked both in the description. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@jaredmills perfect thanks so much
@@jaredmillsthat one’s not electric how’d you make it electric?
@@BrockDonati Shoot, sorry man, it must have copied over the wrong link. I have the correct one linked now.
So can you use the same sprayer you sprayed glyphosate with with like a plot boost onto the plants? Just wash it out and it’ll work or no? Thanks!
For sure. I've used that or something like Meen Green with good results.
Thanks Jared, I just got my 2 bags of rut greens plus and my big bag of no huddle in. Thanks for that discount code. I got that 3 nozzle boom too. Handy as heck! Thanks again man. Lookin forward to gettin some seed in the ground.
Awesome, thanks man! You'll like both of those blends. Can't wait to hear how they do!

@@jaredmills more stubborn Eastern weeds maybe 😁
another great video Jared. Thanks for the info.

No doubt! The rainfall has been great, just hoping it doesn't shut off! Good luck this year!
You too and looking forward to your hunting videos!
Awesome video man! Where can I purchase that hat? Keep up the good work and good luck this season!
Wondering the same about the hat

@@jaredmills I will be on the lookout for rain then. Our first frost in my area of Virginia is 2nd to 3rd week of October.

@@jaredmills yes it most definitely does. One more question if u dont mind. For a .5 acre plot can u give me a recommend mixture? Thank u so much bud
