jerry oats 14 dollars and beardless wheat I think was 16

 

[ruthunter]

Wheat was $9 and buck forage oats were $36 at my coop. I don't think the Buck Forage Oats are worth that, maybe someone here has had some super experience with them and can change my mind, lol.

I won't give $36 but I would give $14 for jerry oats. I don't know the difference but I don't need a deer on the bag either

If you do some searching you will find that the cheap jerry oats will stay tinder and will not get tough like the forage oats and are cheaper. I have been planting 3 acres of jerry oats for 4 or 5 years now and they eat them to the ground. The secret is to have rye grain with the oats so when they are gone they have green till spring. The forage oats mature so much faster and then if you fertilize them that even shortens the time the deer will eat them. You ever heard this deer want eat oats where I live. Same with the wheat. The kind you plant matters but if you only plant small plots the deer destroy it before it matures anyway.

Hey barkscraper,do you mind telling me what steps you take to plant the jerry oats?Do you till or what?Do you use much fertilizer?

I plant a total of 6 acres every fall no spring planting 3 acres I plant in jerry oats 100lbs, rye grain 75lbs, and 10lbs white clover with 5 lbs of radishes per acre the other 3 acres I plant 10lbs radishes, 1lb turnips, 1lb rape, 100lb awnless wheat or beardless wheat and 10lbs white clover per acre rotate every yr. I DONT use any fertilizer except some of my food plot that's poor but after a yr or 2 I want use any cause the things I plant is green manure so I always disk the clover in every fall for fertilizer. Oats, rye, and wheat will grow on a rock if it rains plus the fertilizer will cause the plants to mature so fast that the deer will not eat it. That's where you get so many saying my deer want eat my oats or my wheat the reason is always wrong type seed, plants matured too fast, or not enough bedding areas around the food plots. One crop going out and another crop coming in all year long will bring more deer in than you could ever believe. PLUS that old saying you cant pattern the old mature deer he is nocturnal is false if you follow the year round plan. These measurements are per acre. I do not plow I only disk every green thing growing in for fertilizer then spread my seed and then run my homemade packer over it . I don't use high priced seed only the best seed for the job. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE THE CORRECT SEED. AWNLESS WHEAT, JERRY OATS OR THE CHEAPEST DO NOT USE BUCK FORAGE BECAUSE THEY MATURE TOO FAST You want the deer to eat them to the ground cause the rye is right behind . The clover will do nothing till spring but it will come on with it all summer till you till it in next year for fertilizer. Only planting once a year IS GREAT and seeing deer all summer in my fields eating clover knowing most are from my neighbors is priceless.

ok,great stupid question,is that per acre on the seed weight ?Do you till or what?

 

[barkscraper]

Till and per acre seems a lot but its really not. Sorry redone the rates and added per acre

 

[diamond hunter]
