- OH NO! Deer Stopped Eating My Winter Wheat, NOW WHAT? This is a common thing and its not a big deal. Winter wheat most times by now has been hammered by the deer and its no longer palatable. This is spring green up and deer have a lot of other food to eat. When you are ready to plant food plots just mow the wheat disc and replant.

I’ve noticed in June the rye, wheat and oats all get waist to chest high and falls over dead and the layer of clover is a magnet for a couple weeks. We just spray and / or roll in August same plots so the grains all falling over dead just build up the soil. I love your look on the rye and grains for feb and March and April some too. That is a lot of what gets our deer through the winter bc that’s only thing to eat in those couple months with all natural gone
Great video. Our summer plots in central Georgia normally get torched due to drought conditions, so I have just let my fall/winter oats go all summer the last several years. Will be sure to mow and then disc in this next year during the late spring to put those nutrients back into the soil. Maybe it's time to give summer plots another try....thanks again for putting this content out there
Love these videos. Learning more each week. Has anyone had luck planting brassicas into soy beans for fall plots using no till
I have learned so much from you and yes you are spot on sir.
Man that’s great to hear thank you. Glad your following along
Some very good information your sharing.
Thanks
Awesome! Will be putting my buckwheat in, another 2 weeks from now. 👍
Awesome. Me to. Can’t wait
Yeah man sounds like a good plan I see a lot of people leaning towards the no-till methods I'm going to continue telling everything that I plant in
No till works for sure. Many ways to skin a cat. My method is discing the soil.
When these people are recommending no till 90 percent of them haven’t even planted a food plot. They just watched a video on till and are telling others to do it when they haven’t even planted one lol.
What would happen if you just cut the winter wheat, and then hand seeded the buckwheat on top of the exposed soil without disc-ing the food plots? I’m also planting buckwheat but I don’t have a disc.
If that’s what you want to do it will work. Broadcast the buck wheat first then cut the wheat. As long as you have enough espoused soil your fine.
@whitetailobsessionoutdoors. If I overseed my perennial clover plots in the fall with winter wheat and it’s now late spring moving into summer what should I do with the wheat? Just mow it? I want to keep the clover plots and not disc or put an annual in. I’ll re seed again with the wheat this summer/fall.
Plant oats and it will die after the frost leaving the clover
What winter wheat do you use
Whatever I can get my hands on
Just wondering if you could seed into it with buckwheat , mow it ,then kill it . Would it work as a cover crop for buckwheat ? I don't have a disk.
That would probably work if you have enough soil exposure and you mow it after seeding. I personally never done it that way but I can see it working.
If you have enough room for the buckwheat seed to hit dirt you can broadcast the buckwheat seed and then run over the mature rye/wheat with your tractor or four wheeler. It will help cover and keep moisture in along with helping build inert matter in your soil. With rain and warming temps your buckwheat seed should sprout and take off through the dead remaining thatch from your dead rye/winter wheat... Good luck
@@Fall_Legends Thankyou Chad
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors Thankyou love your channel
im following, but what can I do in the late spring/early summer if I don't have a way to disk/firminator? Am I correct that if I let it seed out, it can reproduce and seed the following summer/fall and be another food source? or will it grow too fast to be palatable during Sept/Oct? Im in West Texas by the way...in case that matters. I seeded a 1/2 acre of Wheat and Oats yesterday, and we have rain forcast for the next few days. In texas, Rain is scarce, so I waited to get the seed in later than I wanted too. Hopefully it works out but what do I need to do in Spring Summer? If seeding out is good for turkey and quail, I can leave it. Its in a place where I can create another food plot next to it, without disturbing the first one. Im considering a spring summer plot next yer by mixing Lab Lab with Sunflowers.
What about leaving the wheat up until Mid August for Fall plot planting instead of buckwheat as a cover crop?
Yes that would work in most cases. Depends what state. A lot of times the wheat and rye will burn out by June
Thats what im doing, but i have clover and chicory throughout, if and when the wheat terminates..
It would add less organic matter I suppose also since there is less planting going on. I would guess that buckwheat would shade out weeds better also?
Man i just planted and seeing these videos makes me start planting again all over haha
Haha. I’m just upset I can’t plant yet lol.
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors my buckwheat and cow peas are up about 2 inches or so already
@@joshbryson817 awesome. Good start. They will take off here shortly
@@joshbryson817 couple more inches, you can spray...
@@citysticker-chris yea I was going to spray again this weekend but I figure if I wait until the 1st I can just got antler grow crazy and spray everything that's green including my grass haha
I have a cereal rye planted in a plot from last fall (NE Ohio). Had some oats too mixed in but they died. My plan was to not replant until next August with winter wheat and oats. What should I do now? Let the cereal rye seed (which I’m ok with) and then cut and till in late July?
You would do that but most likely the rye will die out and turn brown. You may have some weeds pop up after that. If that is your plan from year to year add in some annual clovers this fall with the wheat or rye that way in spring you can have the rye and also the clovers. The clovers will last until you are ready to replant for fall
Is there a benefit from spraying vs mowing?
Yes. When you spray and kill it you dry it out. Kill it. Dead. Mowing also kills it. I’m mowing it then discing and planting. Not using unnecessary chemicals for no reason.
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors how do you mange with all the grass/straw plugging up the disc?
That can definitely be a issue. I don’t have that problem because I mow it short before hand
Bad Azz Intro and awesome vid Brotherman!!!
Thank you appreciate that
Your about 2 weeks ahead of mid Michigan.
It’s pretty cool how different areas are at different stages.
Why wouldn't you broadcast your summer food plot seeds into that wheat and then crimp it
That soil looks pretty good just from the growth at spring green up. Why not crimp? Make for some good mulch and keep that moisture in there this summer. This rain won't last forever.
Because that is not my method.
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors I get that "it's not your method". I've watched every video you have put out. I was wondering more why is that the method you choose... I'm just wondering if spraying and then cutting it has an advantage over crimping it.
