Thanks for breaking that down, I wouldn't buy from anyone else
Northwoods Whitetails is by far the best. Fall planted their clover blend with cereal grains and it has taken off this year. He also opened his store the Friday of Memorial Weekend to sell me some buckwheat. The best seed, best customer service.
I am a New Hampshire food plotter navigating tough sandy, rocky, acidic soils and I stand by John’s product at Northwoods 100%. I run his red clover with rye on my worst soils and then the white blends on my better soils with great results. I also started adding his chicory last year and the deer loved it in season. I have tried that other brand with the blue coated seed and it gets the job done but it’s not the best. Not to mention that you need to clean yourself off with a pressure washer after you’re done seeding it and you’re blowing blue dust out of your nose for a week…😅
Facts 💪🏻
You think that all that money you spend on the pretty blue coating it would stay on the seed 😂😂
Great info Thanks Randy hope your doing well.
Great video Randy, the benefit it's mineral mining deep roots contribute to your soils, resistence to drought conditions and its exceptional digestability. High percentage blends of quality chicory is a great choice that will always play a large part in my perennial food plots.
Ours too Jake. The guys that understand this use a lot of chicory.
Once again, an outstanding video! Your ability to break everything down makes it incredibly easy to understand. I always look forward to watching your content. My only suggestion would be to release videos more frequently….lol !Thank you for the excellent work, and I eagerly anticipate your next upload.
Totally agree. More videos more frequently. Love this guy
I agree as well. We want more videos!! Great job
Great video Randy.
Great video thank you for sharing the great products at Northwoods I just purchased three more bags of clover blend from them after seeing your comparisons.
Thanks!!
Great video
Great info thanks!
Very nice.
Not an expert but clethedim is a growth inhibitor so waiting to spray the weeds after they grow is counterintuitive. i’ve always heard it doesnt kill tall grass.
Im def not the expert but i believe that, usually (like after mowing and the plants starts to re-grow) the plant will be more apt to take up whatever herbicide you spray. I remember reading about spraying while " weeds are actively growing".... Anyone??
This is a great video. I dont understand, though, why in these types of videos, they're always like "a very popular brand..." I say, just say the name. Especially if it's true and can be seen with our own eyes on the back of the bag. Who can fault you for point out the truth??
Some of the companies claim their clover is more palatable to deer than others. A side to side comparison with deer feeding in them would be nice to see in addition to this info.
They have to say that for the price they charge.
Would u add rye, wheat or red clover in August at last mowing? I found black oat which are supposed to be significantly more cold hardy than regular oats? Have you ever used them?
No because I don't want anything going to seed the following year. Never used black oats.
@@SeeMoreBucks thank you for the quick response. Appreciate your information
I have had good luck over seeding my clover with cereal rye in mid September and terminating the rye before it goes to seed. I am in NE Arkansas. Great video I have been suckered in by the popular seed companies not any more staying with John @ Northwoods, have used several products of theirs and all have worked great, only negative is shipping.
How long after applying imox can I over seed seclusion blend? I read it had a strong 1 mth resudiul.
Ended up buying 3 more seclusion bags for over seeding
I just sprayed Butyrac. How soon can I over seed with brassicas into the clover?
Butyrac is a 2,4D product so it has a residual in the soil. You still have 3-4 weeks before you need to plant brassicas.
Does the Northwoods mix have durana clover?
No
24db? Not 24d
The coating is inoculant. Why would you not want inoculated seed?
Most coatings are lime.
The inoculant on our seed is a powder. Coating is not needed.
@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 so your seed does come with inoculant?
@@rnr4204yes
A powder
@@rnr4204 Yes
@@RandyVanderVeen does it come preinoculated or does it come with the inoculant separate?
You forgot to mention chicory is also very expensive per pound, is bitter, less protein than a ladino clover and can’t spray Butyrac on it so you have to use Imox which is very expensive. So why even plant it and just add more clover
The price per pound was mentioned several times. Deer hammer white stem chicory in Oct and Nov. Not red stem chicory I explained the Butyrac issue. Did you even watch the video?
@@SeeMoreBucks yes which is why I ask why even plant the stuff when it has more cons than pros vs more clover
@@justinkelley4984in October, it is highly attractive and ours stays green well in to the winter.
More pros than cons
all true just just doesn’t have the protein in it like ladino and not as browse tolerant as clover.
@@justinkelley4984have you done a forage test ?
Interesting to see your data
