[QUOTE="HatchieLuvr, post: 4961424, member: 19306"] I honestly couldn't tell the difference between regular "bob oats" vs the fancy "name brand oats" over a couple years trial! So I quit buying the expen$ive stuff. I usually plant 10-12 plots on my place (2acs to as small as those in the pics below) and use a simple mix of oats and wheat. I like to wait until early/mid Oct to plant so that the deer are pounding the then dropping acorns and don't bother the young sprouting plots for a couple weeks. This pic from this morning is my favorite small plot down in the middle of the woods. The sprouts literally turned 3 weeks old yesterday. I finished up planting all my plots the night before Hurricane Delta came through 3 wks ago. (This years summer was prime for greenery and deer weights btw! Wet all summer and very low summer stress. Nothing died out, my mower and equipment have the hours to prove it. :rolleyes:) Being along the Hatchie River, my plots usually go underwater anytime between Christmas and the end of deer season, so I don't get to fancy with them and since it's fertile bottom soil I never fertilize or lime them either. I simply til the soil with a 5ft rotary tiller behind my tractor, then broadcast the seed and that's it. Planting rates are heavy, usually equal to 200# per quarter acre. :D [ATTACH type="full"]59951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]59953[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
