Easy No Till Brassica Food Plots

Planting brassica food plots does not have to be very hard. In fact, for nearly 20 years I have been using these no till brassica planting methods with a huge degree of easy success! Whether you are planting turnips, radishes, rape seeds or a quality combo of all 3, this really is a can't miss way to plant incredible fields of high volume green. My favorite is the Ultimate No Till food plot planting method, and this is the perfect illustration for just how successful using Brassica within this method works!

Jeff it’s amazing how you’ve been the first to do EVERYTHING in the foodplot world. You’ve been doing brassicas since 1999!! Who else would have been so brilliant? Last year at Thanksgiving my entire family thanked Jeff for developing corn so the Pilgrims could survive and for teaching them to eat wild game. Amazing!!

Rain baby rain!! Got lucky i planted last Saturday, and we got a 3/4 inch rain yesterday in MN. It’s all about Mother Nature now, absolutely need to do the urea, gives it a huge boost.

Jeff,
Great comments. It is really good to actually see the video of your results...especially the results when using the Urea on the Brassica!!!
We got all our planting done yesterday, and sprayed afterward. We had about 2-5 hrs of dry weather before receiving an 1.5" of rain. I hope that is enough time for the RU to work.
We did have a major equipment breakdown and will have to replace the engine on the UTV.
Looking forward to seeing things green up. thanks again for all your guidance during your visit.
Bob

Thank you for clearing that up (post emergent) I have explained that to people exhaustively and no one believes me.

Got to this video earlier than I get up for turkey hunting

Upstate NY here. Put the soy/brassica mix down a week ago, no till, no drill, just broadcast. Got some rain and seeds began to germinate especially the brassica. I'm in the same boat you were now as we have not had near enough rain. Tried to talk my buddy into doing rain dances. No luck. Hope it rains soon.

Ya buddy, got my Sweet Feast in going on two weeks ago. Finally got rain today. Hopefully it will take off. Fall Forage with some tillage radish going in at the end of the month. Clover also to complete the 3 stage smorgasbord. Ty for all you do Jeff. Love your videos brother. 👍🏻

Been watching most of your videos and love them !great job showing your passion! A little tip (from a chemistry major) ;you should't be putting glyphosate on food plots; its a chelator (bind's to cations) - Ca, Fe, Zn, and Mn; (calcium, iron, Zinc, magnesium) ; might be good for short term killing what you don't want there; but it binds to these metals irreversibly so now your soil will be lacking these metals forever and have a weaker and weaker yield (year to year)

This was loaded with great information! Thank you Jeff.

[randydunmire]

I will be using your seed blends next year for sure

Grat show bud!! Mine plots are thriving. Just cause I planted them in april. But my cow pastures are browing up cause 90s and little rain. Another snowy cold winter coming

[robclinejr]

I have a really sunny flat spot on a hillside that I wanted to plant something on I'll give this a try thanks for the info I'm having a bit of bad luck the cable on my bow frayed and now I have to take a trip to the bow shop really happy it didn't happen during the season

[codyguyette]

Hey Jeff, I'm doing my first food plot ever. I'm planting on a old cow pasture. Lots of tall grasses. I've sprayed and had a great kill but question, there are some spots where I can't even see the soil the grass has died a become very thick blanket of sorts. Will it be ok to broadcast the seed over top of that thick dead grass and thatch? Willl it work its way down into the Soil?
Thanks again! Keep up the amazing work!!

[RushOutdoors]

Jeff quick question. If I have barssicas in the ground but allot of grass taking over can I hit it with Clethodim and not harm the brassicas or will it kill it!

[nicschaalma]

Awesome video. Maybe my fav yet. Clears up all the issues and concerns on these plots. Only ones I do myself. Same way. 2 questions.
1. One of my areas are very bare with no weeds or thatch. Seeded before a rain a week ago. But doesn’t look like anything came up after a week of no rain. Is it ok still ? Or is it toast ?
2. I over-seedEd some of my over-browsed beans and their are some grass weeds same height as the 8 inch beans. I assumed they wouldn’t get pods being over-browsed. Anyway coild I spray cleth on the radish/turnip soybean plot to kill the grasses ?
Or will it harm the beans and brassicas too ? And do I need to eliminate the 6-8 inch grass weeds?

Tons of great advice on this channel! What about in the south where it’s miles and miles of pine forest, what should a hunter be looking for as far as a food source to hunt around and such things like that? I have a 200 acre farm with swampy hardwoods with so many deer it’s like a petting zoo, but I recently got in a club 70 miles away and it’s all pine woods and forestry area. I’m lost as a goose as far as food sources and seasonal deer patterns in strictly pine forest.

[lucashalsey]

Jeff great video!! could you spread the brassicas, then mow and spray the weeds and get the same mulching results as rolling the buckwheat?

[greatlakespowerstrokefx]

Jeff i just got my buckwheat down. First year owning the property. First 2 months actually. Planning to plant the brassica blend from northwoods white tails later mid august.

First time doing food plots. Whats the best place for a non farmer to buy urea? And what specific product do you recommend?

[Johnsson]

I'm going to try the 46-0-0, thank you!

[jodytucker]

I think I’m going to try brassicas this year on my 2 small plots.
