This will make a great series. Not simply before/after. Ground up transformation in steps showing any snags or issues encountered. The decision making. Great plan, Jeff.
Thanks it will be awesome! Actually planting it this weekend 😊 I wish I could show you a pic on here of what it looks like now...
Yes Sir, you have the methods and proven track record to make it work!
As always Jeff grade information, what's a awesome time in your life. You worked hard to get a beautiful location congratulations
Thanks a lot Steve!! We actually just cleared this corn plot site yesterday...can't wait to spray it and make it turn brown 😊
Goodmorning Jeff! Thanks for the content!
You are very welcome Michael!
"Those ash, and Aspen, and GARBAGE, and cherry" that cracked me up! 😂 2:03
😁
I have to cage Aspen/cherry (precious) or it will most definitely be all prickly ash and buckthorn.
I removed my guns, cash & Jewlery & now store my glycophsphate in my gun safe.
Now THAT'S funny ! 👍🏼😂
😁
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Good Evening Jeff. What is your recommendation for Glypo mix in a 15 gallon sprayer. At $130 for 2.5 gallons i do not want to waste any....Thank You
Jeff: very kind of you to allow Jim to live on the land!! Very Cool on your part. Our growing season is too short to plant corn.
Hi Len...Jim is very unique that's for sure!
We use an 85 day variety and plant sometime in late June...works out very well! Maybe you could use a short day variety like that? Then it's a matter of fertilizing it a LOT!
You can never be to high up on the food chain to do manual labor. Great video guys!
Ha, just given Gunner a hard time...and he definitely is a hard worker! Dante and I actually knocked it out yesterday...man a lot of work but beautiful now!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 haha I can't wait to see what it looks like in the fall. Always fun working outside when the weather is nice. Don't forget your sunscreen. I got burnt yesterday.
What blend of corn, a roundup ready blend I’m thinking?
Love the drone footage. Sometime you should do a Turkey hunting tips video. Watch your videos from the blind (with ear buds of course)
Hi LaVerne! I should do that some day...although wouldn't be able to give too many tips 😊 I'm actually in the turkey blind right now
Jeff, is 125 yards far enough away from a house to be used as a daytime plot/sanctuary so long as the woods between are thick enough you can’t see it? House is on hill, plot in valley.
If I’ve got a mulcher clearing a new plot in brush and some young trees should I spray herbicide immediately on top of the clearing or wait until some new growth pops up?
Do you have any seed recommendation for Canadians ??? Northwoods whitetail does not ship to us Canadians lol .
I’m thinking of using corn (15-ish rows) to help visually screen my plots. (Non hunting plots) Hoping it creates pockets where NO ONE ever lays eyes on them.
Hi Kurt! I have a few spots like that that I have switchgrass on the outside, then corn and then greens.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I’m fully screened on three sides and I’m Hopeful the corn “closes the door”. 👍 -Adding 250 yards of Switch would be PERFECT but a bit too much for my 86 year old dad to agree to.
Jeff, doing my second year of ultimate no till. Have 2ft tall rye I sprayed last week. Should I mow it shorter or broadcast buckwheat right in to dead standing rye? Thanks for the years of great info!
Hi T! I just broadcast it right into the dead, standing rye. Just have to find good, seed to soil contact
Will deer eat standing oat grain?
Does glyphosate hurt corn
Not if it's roundup ready.
Great info as always ! Ty👍🏼🌾🦌
How do you keep raccoons from destroying corn ? In WNY we can't set traps til end of October
😂😂😂👍🏼
Those raccoons are bad! We need to go full scale assault on them this year...I'm sure they eat a lot of turkey eggs too!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Yeah, lol
Shame anti fur people won
My cousins (who share our hunting lands) have been trapping coon since before I was born in ‘70. They sold the furs to the Russians, probably gonna be hard to continue that…
I’ve never seen food plots where there’s cattle. I mean, how do people have so much land without cattle? I’m guessing the cattle will not let the food plots grow
Cattle definitely eats the food plots down to the ground...and everything else
Any suggestions hunting with cattle around?
Thank you for the great videos! How soon after spraying glyphosate at a rate of 2 qt per acre should we be seeing the weeds turning? Thanks again
You are very welcome Bret! Usually around 10 days to start seeing it turn brown...a good 2 weeks to really see it fully brown
Jeff thanks for all the great information. How small of a plot can you split, barasica and WHS blend? My plot is .7 acres.
I even go a lot smaller than that John...down to a 1/8th of an acre or so.
Can you plant clover in Michigan early may and in August? So that it may last longer? Small plot
You definitely want to plant clover during August with a cover crop...i.like brassica in early August. Oats in early Sept is another cover crop...even rye at the same time.
Jeff do you ever make a food plot for one year to get to bare dirt and then convert to cover/bedding (switch/pollinators)?
Hi Alex yes I do! If not in a good spot for a plot I just spray to turn to bare dirt by Fall with the intention of frost seeding...
Hey, Jeff I love watching you and Grant Woods. You two have much different food plot strategies. Why do you believe your methods are better than his?
Chopping the trees down….. what do you do with all the stumps?? How do you get them out of the ground??
I leave them there and let them rot over time...
Hi Jeff! First of all, thanks for all of the great info, as always. Secondly, I have a very small parcel sandwiched in between AG that I was thinking about using switch on the boarder. Thoughts on that idea?
Some type of screen is critical for land surrounded by ag...switchgrass can be an excellent choice if the conditions allow for it
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thanks, Jeff. I’ve been mulling that idea around for some time. I need to take care of that eventually.
Jeff- if I’m broadcasting buckwheat, what setting do I set the spreader to?
Is the corn planter going to run over stumps sawed down to the ground?
Yes...
If I broadcast into buckwheat, roll it, and spray it, how much do I need to worry about a good downpour in the immediate forecast?
Obviously some rain will help things when they jump up but I'm wondering if there will be enough moisture just from the buckwheat and dew to allow for germination. Just asking because I typically get one or two shots to borrow my buddy's atv and I have to do everything in one day, seed, spray, and roll all at once.
Hi Jeff! When you hunt those islands you talk about back in a swamp or a marsh in public land, how do you access those without spooking deer? I know to move slow and as quietly as possible, but even with waders moving through that water and cat tails that seems to make a lotta noise. Do you just go in 2 hours before daylight when the deer definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near there so you can make some more noise?
Hey Jeff what sprayer would you recommend for a Polaris Ranger? I know that you use a Fimco on your Kubota was curious if you ever use it with your ranger as well
Will the corn detract deer from your brassica/cereal grain plots? I know you have always recommended consistency for all your plots in order to avoid having deer prioritize one plot over one planted with a different crop.
Hi Rick! The great thing is they don't hit the corn around d here until some time in November. This will be a great spot to funnel deer to at that time, and to hold deer in a safe spot. I have corn in 5 other locations so it helps to spread the corn out throughout the land with no dead spots of corn. This is also a spot I don't want deer to funnel to in Sept and October so that helps too.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks, Jeff. One more piece to the design puzzle I need to factor in prior to October logging 😀
hi Jeff
that rig Branden has in that corn planter is it spraying fert or is it like weed killer?
Hi Jeremiah! Brandin has it set up to where he can spray multiple herbiceds and time released nitrogen all at 1 time.
This man is a food plot weed’s worst enemy.
Ha 😊 Weeds are the death of all switch and food plots. It I actually better to have poorer soil plots than weedy plots.
We've not planted corn due to our resident population of black bears. Are we being foolish? Would corn be an addition even with the bears?
Corn is king.
On an average late Nov thru January for sure!
