[QUOTE="panFried, post: 371815, member: 9467"] Hey Jim, I'm a food plot grower/user and I am really seeing good returns now that I have my seed mix figured out. I have pretty good success planting buck-oats, winter wheat, and purple-top turnips. Occasionally I'll throw out a few Austrian peas. Deer love all of it, but once I started adding buck-oats that's when I noticed more deer. Around my cabin I threw down K31 fescue and ladino clover mixed. Not only does it provide a super hang out area for camping but it brings in the deer as well. I usually start planting after first or mid August and time your planting right before a rain. This starts the seed quicker and you won't lose so much to birds. Also I throw a fertilizer mix of 12-12-12 down after the seed and disc all of it in. Speaking of discing... If you have access to plow and disc, plow first and disc... Spread seed, spread fertilizer, and disc under or chain harrow. Done! We use a 3 man crew. One on the tractor, 2 throwing seed and fertilizer. I work with the neighbors and well knock out 6-7 food plots in a day. Plus you can share the cost on seed and equipment. There is a lot of info I can share with you so just ask. I'll see if I can send some pics and resources. [/QUOTE]
