    Great information. Crp can be overwhelming

    I just wanna know why some guys have brassicas that the deer will touch and they completely ignore mine.

      We're going to record with Dr. Strickland next week. That's on my list of questions because I've always wondered the same thing! haha

      I have a theory but I am not sure it is right. Ask Dr. Stickland when you have himon. I noticed this on different areas of my farm (old tobacco farm). On the areas where tobacco was raised, they would not eat it. On the old clay hillside 50 yards away, they smoked it. When we did soil test they were not that different. My theory is that in areas where heavy nitrogen was used for long periods of time (Tobacco fields) the nitrate level in the plant stays much higher. We found this to be true when we did tissue analysis with plants in both locations. I wish we could ask a deer what they like to eat but my guess is the the higher the nitrate level is in the plant the more bitter it is. So it is not the sugars coming up but the nitrates going down as the plant matures. We tested this again on a spot in Illinois where a hog farmer sprayed his liquid manure. The cereal grains and winter peas of deadly dozen were smoked but the brassica plants were untouched. on the next field where we planted the same thing, the brassicas were smoked. Only difference in tissue analysis with the two plants was nitrates were higher where there was an excess of nitrogen from the liquid manure. Going back to the tobacco field, the long roots of the brassicas go much deeper than the other plants. So we only get soil samples from up top. I think that it is pulling the nitrogen out of the sub pan. So to make a long story short, i dont think it takes deer time to get used to plants. I think that it takes some plots a couple years of these plants soaking up all that nitrogen so that the nitrate levels do not stay so high through the season. Deer are starving in the winter, I think it has to do with the tissue make up of the plant which comes from the soil. We do not usually see it in soil tests because it is deeper than where we test. Brassicas are the only plant with that long of roots to capture it. This is also why farmers are planting them inside their corn fields now as cover crop. To pull the nutrients out of the hard pan. I have been working on this for 4 years now. It is maybe something that simple. Yet again, i could be off my rocker.

      @@chasing_giants_tv_terrypeer Excellent point and would make sense. I feel brassicas has always felt like a tale of two cities. Some people swear by them and some have no luck. I'll be curious what Dr. Strickland has to share!
