  1. Jeff can you please do a no-till spring turkey kill plot video too? I really think if you did a really good series on building turkey flocks in the south from the no till food plot perspective it could be massively popular with our population decline problems.

    I typed all of this five seconds before you guys started talking 💩 about turkeys 🤣

  2. Didnt you say in previous videos to spray at the same time as planting? I remember you mentioning that the chemicals are inert on e they hit soil and other arguments that sounded rational. Here, you said to wait 10 days, which i understand is what the instructions say on the glyphosate. I am now confused. Please advise.

  3. Seriously need some help. First time making a food plot. About 1/2 acre all tilled up and planted. Everything has been growing the last 2 weeks without issue. Though the grasshoppers are insane this year destroying everything green and nothing can grow more than an inch before they gobble it up. I’ve sprayed pesticide all around the plot but about 1-2 days later there back. Should I just cut my losses before the season has even begun. I’ve never seen the grasshoppers this bad for decades. Thanks for any help. Up here in South Dakota.

  4. You and Dillon have an excellent working relationship. As a business owner, your relationship is priceless.
    And…….Thank You for these videos. I've watched so many that I feel I'm on the same page. Can't wait for your prediction videos ( rut forecast and thermals).
    I'm in northern WI and it's only gotten better since watching your videos.
    Thank you!

  5. I started practicing the no till food plot planting methods about 10 years ago. I learned from a farmer that was spraying and seeding by an airplane…watched everything I could back in the day on YouTube and I can honestly say I leaned the most from you Jeff. Thanks for sharing your information and instructions with us ✅💥✌️

  6. What would you recommend for a buckwheat planting date in sandy soil during normally hot and dry summers? I’m in NE OK and 4/6 of my plots are within 100 yards of a large creek so the soil drains quickly. I typically plant brassicas August 20-30 and cereal grains early – mid September.

  7. Hooray! Happy Friday Fellas. My Honey spread the seed, I sprayed Plot-Start. Super nice thunderstorms all day! Do you spray fertilizer right away, or wait until there is growth?

  8. Jeff, working with a local farmer that farms part of my property. If you need to spray weeds and are in a time crunch to get your seeds planted, he is recommending using Sharpen (very expensive) or Liberty. This way you don't need to wait 2 weeks like oyu do when using 2-4D in conjunction with Glyphosate. Also, if you need to till you only need to wait 2 days then are able to till in the weeds. Almost as important, he is now using AMS everytime he sprays herbicide. He even has eliminated the surfactant and crop oil because the AMS works so well. He uses AMS on the heavy side (use max amount recommended). Hope this helps.

  9. One thing that I’m not clear on is what to do between early spring and planting buckwheat in July. I’m in southern MO, and my rye will be 8-10 inches by early April. Am I just killing it off in April and spraying weeds 2-3 times until July when I plant buckwheat 7 weeks ahead of brassicas?

  10. It's too late for me to plant buck wheat before my plot this year. When would you recommend planting buck wheat next year. I want to put a plot in before summer sometime in the spring. Is buck wheat an option before planting for spring?

  11. U know I have the tractors and all the equipment but don't use them in any of my plots other than the planter for my screen because I like planting the high sorghum close so the wind and snow can't knock it down. The first year I started the no till system I did plow deep just 2 loosen the ground since that a heavy tractor hasn't been on the fields. And yes u need 2 spray. That deep plowing brought up so many seeds it took me 2 years of fighting them. Now I just let the brassica do my tilling on half 1 year then the other half the following year. Anyone say your method doesn't work need to do there homework. Another great video

  12. We get paid for planting a cover crop here in Clayton County Iowa and be happy allot of farmers don't do it. My food plots that r along our set aside field pull in deer because there pretty far from our crop fields and green but our big ag fields are full of deer all winter because of the winter rye and radishes and there big enough that they have plenty of room not to stress each other. I wish I could share pics here. The fields look like a cattle yard they get hit that hard makes it hard 2 bow hunt because they enter in so many places but u made it easier by the mock scrape and water holes.

  13. Hey Jeff love your videos watch them all. Trying to plan out my plots for next year and wondering what exactly you mean when you say 2qt per acre of glyphosate. If I’m using a concentrated roundup at 51% glyphosate by volume does that mean I need actually 4qt per acre of that roundup?

  15. I’ve got quite a bit of weeds and grasses coming through my summer crop.

    How & when should I terminate these weeds/grasses to get the best fall planting outcomes?

    Thanks for all your videos & information!

  16. Stupid question probably…why are you running over your plot with the packer maxx? Just curious, I’m new to learning about food plots. I have 40 acres of my own with 1 acre opened up and want to plant a food plot for bowhunting. Thanks

  17. Jeff, I understand the purpose to use buckwheat as smother crop and soil building, do you do anything to help antler growth in spring? I can't recall many videos when you mention that cause you always want to build your herd late summer and fall. Thanks

  18. Just obtained a new property in Alabama. Old cow farm with field after field of Baha’i a grass. Sept 15 planting date. Do you suggest buck wheat now and follow up with trying to roll it and spraying then follow with small winter seed around oct 1? We usually have dry weather in late Sept. Baha’ia (sp check) is real thick. Many thanks love your vlog.
