Plan B Food Plot?


Recommended Posts

This spring I no tilled some soybeans, sorghum, and buckwheat into an existing hayfield. For some reason it really did not germinate very well. I am ready to go to plan B. Should I spray round up and go back and no till something for this fall, or should I forget about no tilling ang get the disc out? also, what should a guy be planting soon for a plot that will be lush this fall? Thanks for any input.

I would get the disc out, or a tiller if you got one. My neighbor tilled both my plots and the tiller IMO does a better job than a disc turning the soil. A disc will do the job though.

I do know a guy on QDMA forums who has had success with the following method:

Round up the plot killing everything

wait about 2 weeks

come in and broadcast the seed (clover, chicory or brassica seed since they are small seed)

Then mow the left over weeds down to about 1-2" high. He had pics of his clover/chicory plot and it looked phenominal. The extra "grass" that is left over after mowing helps to bury the seed once it rains on it. So you can get a decent plot without disking the ground.....if you wanted to go that route.
