I have a wetter area. Broadcasted soybeans and sprayed 1.5 oz round up. Got rain 4hrs later than 3 more rains in 5 days. They threw roots into soil. Hope the 12 Inch weeds and grasses protect beans until they get some size. Added little buckwheat and red clover to protect against browse pressure

Nice job timing the rain! Great video!

Love my hidey holes have deer daily on the property. Not really any plots in my area all timber or timber cuts.

Insted of weighing seed, I take a measuring cup (fl.oz.) and pour the new bag slowly into the cup a little ar a time. I transfer it to the tote, noting how many total fluid ounces are in the bag. It is now possible to convert the total bag size (acre, 1/4 acre etc.) Into total fluid ounces and use that conversion to scoop into the bag when the plot size has been determined. I also convert my small plot sizes into qubic yards vs acres to eliminate using fractions as much.

HI
I've been watching your youtube tv videos for years. Question: I don't have gensis drill and can't plant the seed 1/4" deep. Can I get the seed to soil then use my cultipacker to press the seed down, Then cover with hay or straw to stop the sun from baking the seed? Would this be equally good for planting summer release seed.

I just found your channel and im working on my 1st 2 plots since may. What were you planting in late may june? I planted buckwheat after spraying and the deer just browsed that down and didnt let it get higher then 5 inches so my plot weeded out in spots. I disced up half and planted brassicas on that half about 3 weeks ago and I sprayed the other half a week ago that im gonna broadcast my cereal grains of winter wheat and rye. Can I mix clover in with that side?

How long can you store the seed in totes? If it's possible to store the seeds for months in totes that would definitely help me with storage space until I plant. Thanks for the videos and information.

I’m new to hunting. I have 13 acres of wooded land and see deer all the time. If I build one of these, does it matter if it’s too close to a bedding area? I would imagine so

Where abouts are you located? We live in Lawrence County Missouri, , Between Springfield and Joplin,

[markmueller]

What size range do you consider a hidey-hole food plot? We have a couple fields that are around an acre; most are smaller. Just wondering...

[daleknox]

Been hunting 35 years and have never heard of Hidey Hole

What brand of glyphosate are you using? I searched 2% and couldn't find any.

[briantessmer]

Did I see the person backpack spraying walking into the area where he just sprayed. Shouldn't teach people to do that. Unhealthy..fyi

Good stuff, but it's the same old stuff
