Using Prescribed Fire To Prep Your Food Plots!!

There are several different ways to prep and plant your food plots, depending on seed mixes, soils and the site. NDA Chief Conservation Officer Kip Adams discusses a few reasons why he has implemented prescribed fire to prep some of his food plots for fall plantings. He also talks about the proper conditions needed to conduct prescribed fires and the effects certain conditions have on the results.

Sweet content fellas. New sub here.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Nice! Happy to have ya!!

[@RyanTN]

I’ve experienced bad results using this same exact process of spraying to kill vegetation, fire to remove thatch, then broadcasting seed over top. Weeds took over my plot like never before. From my understanding, fire stimulates the seed bank in the soil. Has anyone ever experienced weed issues using this process?

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Any soil disturbance is going to stimulate the seed bank. Ideally we try to time rain so the seeds we broadcasted germinate and establish before weeds take over the plot.

My food plot isn't growing it's been seeded 3 weeks ago no till we have had rain 2 days a week as well

[@collegeguy14]

I would bet you are not looking close enough. You would have weeds if nothing else coming up after 3 weeks

[@JayN4GO]

How high can the humidity be to get a decent fire?

[@Whitetail_Properties]

it really is site depended, but anywhere from 35-50 is usually doable. The lower the humidity the hotter the fire.

[@bobg3034]

Why would you spray it??

[@Whitetail_Properties]

To kill the vegetation.

24 years as a burn boss and I hate to see people prescribed burning while wearing a T Shirt. Layer up with some cotton long sleeves, Nomex. It can save your life.
