Food plot in sandy soil?

[NYBowman]

Will cattle tear into this stuff? I've been thinking about throwing seed, but think the cows will destroy it.

I just planted the pre mixed bag from east Texas seed in concord which is just down from Troup. I disked lightly because our soil is so sandy. I planed last week of aug. and I already have some coming up.

peanuts do good in sandy soil but like chufa it will need to be planted 1 to 1.5 inches deep and it should have been planted a few months ago because they like the heat and sun, animals love the plant and will dig up the peanuts later.

I appreciate all the replies. I'll give some of them a shot.

Has anybody every soaked your seed in water before u planted it? I soaked some of my peas this year to try it but now I'm wondering bout soaking my oats and wheat.

Isnt it too late to plant peas? I thought they had to be planted a while back.

Cowpeas, cowpeas and more cowpeas. They will grow until first frost. Might plant them with oats or rye for the cooler months. Cowpeas are perfect for the bow opener.

I just got a new place to hunt near my house and have been mowing out there. I would like to just broadcast something out there without breaking it up. I have done food plots in East Texas my whole life but I've never seen deep sandy soil like this place has. What should I put out there? Will anything grow well in sand?

you may try something like Imperial Whitetail "no plow". It has a seed blend in it and has done well for us (sandy soil).

This man knows what he is talking about.

Not really concerned with the bow opener, mainly just want something that will stay all winter. I will be in Schleicher County more during October.

Where do you get yours from, and what kind?

[Nova]

Iron and Clay Cow Peas, black oil sun flowers, wheat and elbon rye. this will get you fixed up for an early till frost and then the cereal grains take over for winter.

So whats the seeding rate for the peas if broadcasted?
