"Not" doing stuff is what I'm best at! Thanks for always putting out useful content!

Watching this as I sip a cold beer while taking a break broadcasting buckwheat in my plot. You're spot on about the shade. My plot is in the woods. The southern edge gets a lot of morning shade. CLEARLY doesn't do as well as the mid to northern end.

Earlier this morning try to watch so call food plot how to grow all it about soil nothing about what to plant or how, this is why to me you all are #1 how to plan you’re property or hunting area for success thanks again

Thanks Jeff and Dylan it's all about the planning and you guys make it clear every video I have one little opening that does need to be planted but I'll leave those Trails alone

Planted my buckwheat yesterday. Been working on my plots for the last month every weekend. Can’t wait to get back into them end of July. I look forward to the new videos every few days. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks, Jeff. I made the logging trail food plot mistake a few years ago. Totally wrecked the deer hunting on my section of our lease. Never again.

Was waiting for a video on this, so many food plot seed companies are touting this and it blows my mind.

Here in NJ we can bait 24/7. I did use a grass logging road mix that my Forrester recommended. I did however put some clover in there so I have clover on some of my logging roads but they still all go to my deer feeders so really hasn’t changed for me putting some clover on my logging roads. Every property is different love the info that you give great channel.

That new property is going to fit that spot well!! Very cool!!

Thanks for all your videos, Jeff. I planted a 100 foot connector trail last weekend with Northwoods Seclusion. Connects two food plots each with different offerings. I have stands at both ends and would never have to touch the trail to access either. Hope it works out.

Shorts and muck boots. Glad to see I’m not the only one who fills their boots with seed.

I do plant the logging roads that run east to west here, I’m fortunate enough that I get plenty of sun and my clover does very well here.

Thanks Jeff! Worked on my new 1/4 of an acre food plot yesterday!

Good stuff 👍 Thanks Jeff! Have a great day all!

we used to have a snowmobile trail thru our property. the deer would use it to walk on the packed snow. when there wasnt any snow they still used it.

Just finished spraying my 3 acres with a back pack, I will be getting a boom sprayer next year 😂😂 thanks for all the knowledge.

[spencerlofkvist]

I see you have heavy dead thatch on your newly sprayed trail, how do you deal with that? I'm dealing with the same as well on my new food plot I'm creating on an old fallow field.
Thank you Jeff, as always.

Appreciate the content Jeff. Would love to see the design of your property layout on the pad sometime like you’ve done in the past.
