Have watched you for years Grant first time commenting just want to say thank you for all the wisdom both in creation and in the higher places you share on this channel may the blessings continue flowing thru you brother 🙌🏼🙏🏼
As always great content. I've got 3 plots all with green covers summer blend. 2 of them did well in lower areas. The 3rd plot was on a hilly area and didn't do so well with the lack of precipitation this summer. It had alot of grass. That's when I decided to spray the 1 plot and planning on drilling the other 2 in a few weeks. Gonna take your advice and bump up my seed rate this year. Thanks for sharing
I allow the growth of curly dock, broad leaf dock, and dandelion in all my plots. Its native browse here grows all year long and deer love it, just keep it mowed to encourage new growth and fertilize those nut and fruit trees
We played with this last year with broadcasting, spraying, then running it over a million times with a truck and tractor. IT WORKED!! So this year we're stepping up. We're about to buy a crimper. And we're going to double our plot size now that we know it'll work. In years to come, we'll get a no till drill. We're just having to take small steps. Thank you for your knowledge. And thank you for standing for Christ Jesus
Great video grant as always,thanks for being the great witness that you are grant never for getting to mention and give praise to our lord Jesus Christ you will always be blessed
Read the label on your herbicide. Although labels for Glyphosate vary with chemical %. A half gallon for 100 gallons usually works, which is infected by calibration of your sprayer. If you don’t understand how to calibrate your sprayer, they’re 1000 UA-cam videos out there. With that being said your local extension service can help you because only about 15% of those videos make sense.
So if you are mixing your glyphosate at a 2% solution per tank do you even worry about GPA or amount of gly per acre ? I always read that around 2 quarts per acre of gly is what you need for burn down. But if just mixing a 2% solution would work, That would be a lot simpler. But I imagine the amount of product per acre would vary greatly upon sprayer output.thoughts ?
Yes I understand. The way it was implied in the video was that mixing a 2% solution of gly and no mention of gallons per acre led me to believe that you were implying that a 2% solution at varying GPA would still be effective ? So are you saying that a 2% solution would still be effective at different sprayer outputs?
Speaking as a farmer lime definitely is important but it is nowhere near the top of the list. Most TV personalities have made that their go-to sell for good food plots.
Thank you for your great information Grant! I would really like to ask you a couple of question if I could. I am so confused with all the information out there. Any help would be great! My question is I have field full crabgrass I want to plant clover and winter rye but I don't have drill but I do have disk but I don't want use it can I just spray the weeds and broadcast the clover seed and winter rye after I spray it and not cover it? Thank you
I really don't want to disc, and I probably can't get a seed drill this year. We are having a lot of work done on the property we bought in 2021, big pond & removing invasives. Planning on planting rye to hold the soil, then clover & brassicas for this fall. What are my best options for planting into the ground that has been run over by the excavator & bulldozers but still has bits of branches & roots all over? After most of the work has been done it all looks like clay with heavy equipment track prints in it.
Ugh... Here comes the herbicide. Any suggestions what's best against this stuff would be much appreciated! Love your videos and philosophy! Keep up the great work!
Goodness - why are you upset? Should we use the best techniques we can if possible? I disked before I could rent a drill. Then I could afford to purchase a drill. The NRCS rents drills in most states throughout the whitetail's range.
It's frustrating how difficult it is to explain a lot of these concepts to folks who "plant like grand-daddy did". Not only are they hurting their soil and limiting their chances at success, they're putting more time and money into less effective processes.
I love how you always end with a reference to the Creator! Amen
God is good
Thank you Grant! Your last comment was the most important of the entire video! Praise our Creator!

Good information. I am going to stay away from spraying, especially glysophate, but the rest of the information is very helpful.
It’s been wet every week up in northern Minnesota since we planted the fall plots at the end of July.

Great One Grant. Thanks for also sharing the positive Christian Message at the end.
Great video grant as always,thanks for being the great witness that you are grant never for getting to mention and give praise to our lord Jesus Christ you will always be blessed
I greatly respect that you use your platform to glorify God and proclaim the gospel.
Excellent, thanks Grant!
Great video and planting points and information
Great info

1/2 gallon per 100 gallons would be a weak mix.
Great message, thank you
Never pass up the chance to share the gift of salvation.

You are correct - this varies by the gallons per acre and the sprayer's nozzle size, etc.
Yes I understand. The way it was implied in the video was that mixing a 2% solution of gly and no mention of gallons per acre led me to believe that you were implying that a 2% solution at varying GPA would still be effective ?

I use 1 and 1/2 guarts in a 25 gal sprayer per acre
Great stuff
Thanks !!
Thou shalt not plant a food plot and skip the utilization cage. Great video!
Amen!
Lime lime lime lime it will grow anywhere

Steve - you can spray and then broadcast seed! The best results when broadcasting seeds usually occurs when the seed is spread just before a rain.

Broadcast before a rain - but not a heavy rain where the seeds will wash off the plot.
@@GrowingDeerTV OK Thanks. Waiting on a call back from the local seed dealer now.
👍 👍
Amen, to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thanks Grant for being bold.
So in PA - Japanese stilt grass - herbicide is the way to go or burn it too?
Unfortunately, prescribed fire won't terminate stilt grass.
Ugh... Here comes the herbicide. Any suggestions what's best against this stuff would be much appreciated! Love your videos and philosophy! Keep up the great work!
I am a food plot beast
So basically you’re recommending not discing the ground for food plots, doing a no till type plot. See a lot more of this
Not everyone has a 50,000 planter 😢
I don't either. Most NRCS offices (one in most counties) rent drills. I broadcast seed in many plots I can't get a tractor to.
It's less expensive to buy a side off beef.
But not here as healthy for our families to consume!
🙏👍👊
Spray it with chemicals and buy a $10,000 drill!
Goodness - why are you upset? Should we use the best techniques we can if possible? I disked before I could rent a drill. Then I could afford to purchase a drill. The NRCS rents drills in most states throughout the whitetail's range.

Yes!
No GMO please
Green Cover doesn't sell any GMO seeds!
