Food Plots Local co op mix

[Rammer Jammer]

My local co op has this mix. What do y'all think? $75 to plant 1 acre. I'm considering planting this and an acre of cereal rye right beside it to see which gets used more. This is strictly a kill plot. The field I'm planting gets rotated annually between beans and corn.

Gonna have to have 6.0+ ph for the Landino clover, alfalfa & chicory to do anything. Deer not gonna eat the sun hemp as it's just a cover crop.

Other stuff is okay but how are you going to plant it? Wheat, oats & triticale all need some dirt on top of them, while all the small seed only need 1/4" . Also, I'd want to know the percentage of each seed.That looks more like a list of seed instead a mixture

Somebody at the coop was on Crack when they made that blend.

No till drill

No till drill

Works great if the big seed and small seed are bagged separately. Not so much if it's all in together

No sit. I found some wheat, oats and rye grain mix for 17 dollars a bag. 34 dollars an acre. We bought 70 bags. 40 for one lease. 30 for the other. That's best deal I have found.

Where did you find this

O bought some similar miz after the season for a few years back for virtaylly nothing. Planted the next yr. It did ok , but as mentioned, their is no method that can accommodate the needs of all those different seed types and sizes. The wheat and oats came up. I saw a few turnips but they were out competed by the wheat

I love blends...but I believe you can buy the wheat, oat, turnips and save some money per acre...and you could add some crimson clover too...build you own blend.

That's what I'm thinking

My throw & mow mix that I have blended locally.

 

[square]

You can make your own 40%oats, 30%wheat, and 30% elbon rye for $17-18$ per 50 lbs

Agreed. Strange mix and strange that they mixed perennials with annuals.

Clemons and hammer

I just looked them up. I would like to get some of their brassica mix and also the wheat/oats/rye….. but that's a long drive from Tullahoma. I'll have to put a mix together at my local co op.

They are 3 miles from my house & have done my seed for over 20 years. Good, down to earth folks. BTW, they do a lot of the Biologic mixes as well as CO-OP.

I'm trying Adam's briscoe this year. Fall perennial blend and another small spot with purple top turnips. Planted this past Friday. Good sprouts today. if they will just continue to get some rain

I used to buy all my seed from Adams Briscoe, mainly because they carried seed nobody else did. But then our local Co-ops started to cater more to food plotters and increasing the variety of what they carried.

When I lived in Lexington I bought all my seed from Clemons and Hamner and sometimes after I moved back to Guntersville. Good folks for sure.

I would ask for their United Deer blend instead of that mix. It's a good fall planting and I always add turnips and radishes. I have several acres left to plant, what was put in around the first of the month, is doing great with hardly any rain.
