Wes...as usual GREAT comments. I actually learned this years ago when my mother-in-law passed and I was very very late in planting some of my food plots. I still decided to plant the soybeans in a few fields anyway, even though I was convinced they would be a disaster. Guess what, when all my neighbors beans were dry pure brown mine were young and green.......and the deer were HAMMERING them. As you said don't expect any pods, but who needs them when they have all that preferred green food. Needless to say we had a great season, and lead us to try Eagle Forage Beans over 15 years ago with great success. We still do well every year planting "late" beans, not for bean production, but for GREAT forage. Many of the success I have had over the last 30 years have been made by either stupidly, accident, dumb luck, or lessons from studying what the deer prefer...not what I "think" they prefer. I have been very blessed with the experiences I have enjoyed in my journey pursuing mature whitetails. Thanks, your friend Bob
Bob, thanks for sharing your experience, you’ve clearly got the food plots figured out!! Those late beans can be absolutely killer in the fall! Appreciate you watching!
Yes I did and thanks for asking, I got decent germ I no tilled just over an acre. I think this maybe the last year for no till you need so much rain to get going, it’s safer to just till the ground. I have reseeded radish four times. Thanks again
Thanks Wes, good information! Here in NY we had our first snow last week just north of me!! I still need another week or two to get my brassicas mature so fortunately we didn't get a frost on my farm. I use a brassica blend and rye to get me through the season which goes from Oct 1- Dec 31. I also plant some soybeans, peas and oats that the deer love right now but they get frosted out in october.
Wow!! That is pretty wild to think that it is already starting to snow in some parts of the U.S.! Sounds like a great combo, hopefully you can get them to maturity before a frost hits. Thanks for watching!
Sorry to hear that, drought is one of the things we can’t control and boy it’s sure frustrating when it’s not going in our favor. Hope you get some good soaking rains soon! Thanks for watching
That’s an awesome mix! I may save some space next year and try this. I got all plots ready for fall now. Good luck this year! Thanks for the great content!
Sounds good, glad to hear the plots are doing well and it’s almost time to enjoy all the work we put in! Good luck this year and thanks for watching and the support!
I totally feel for you, we’ve been so dry the last month, it’s so frustrating! Hope you get some good rains soon and the plots turn out well! Good luck and thanks for watching
Eastern Ok is dry also I planted September 15th and had to irrigate out of my pond to get it to germinate. It's looking good but had to irrigate again today
Love the mix Wes can you reply with it written down per acre what amounts of each you recommend? BTW downloaded the FieldView app you recommended in previous video and it was dead on to what I had in the gauge from the rain we just got. Thanks for the content.
Thanks Lee, you will be really happy with that app, it’s super handy. 25-50lbs oats. 25-50lbs winter wheat, 10-12lbs crimson clover 4-6lbs frosy berseem clover. 50LB bag of soybeans. Thanks for watching
Just want to clarify the numbers you gave. All the pounds of seeds, is that a per acre rate? Also, do you fertilize after you plant? For reference I’m in north Mississippi so it sounds Iike we have similar soil and climate.
Now that sounds like a great plan, young beans in the fall, thanks wes.
Yes sir, it’s a solid plot! Thanks for watching and good luck!

Thanks Wes, I like your mix, definitely going to try a version of it next year.
It’s a solid mix with very good attraction, I think you will like it. Did you get the alfalfa planted?
Bad drought up here in Michigan. Plots are burning up. No rain in sight. We will be lucky to have enough time for Rye to get up and grow.

Great info. I’m in middle Georgia area. Sounds like something to give a try this year!
Yep, I think it will work really well for you! Good luck and thanks for watching
Awesome suggestions Wes! I am going to try the soybeans!
Sounds good I think you will like them, good luck with the plots and thanks for watching
Archery opens here in SE OK on October 1st. If we ever get a rain I'll try that wes. Thanks.
Hope y’all get some good soaking rains soon! Good luck and thanks for watching
Very interesting.
Thanks Roy, I appreciate you watching, good luck this year!
I'm just ready to get SOMETHING in the ground, horribly dry in sw Oklahoma. I'm prepped and ready just praying for rain!
I totally feel for you, we’ve been so dry the last month, it’s so frustrating! Hope you get some good rains soon and the plots turn out well! Good luck and thanks for watching

Finally rain last night! Got all plots planted Friday and Saturday!

Yes the numbers are on a per acre basis. You can fertilize before or after planting, I prefer before. Thanks for watching and commenting
Excellent. Thanks!
