I have been mowing and spraying plots, have about 45 acres of scattered food plots on the place.
I do a mix of 90% wheat and 10% elbon rye at 100# per acre rolled in with a top dressing of purple top turnips 1# per acre, dwarf rape 1# per acre, Daikon radishes 1# per acre and 5# per acre of crimson clover.
Mix has worked well for the past 6 years in Rusk county.
Whitetail Institute clover here. I haven’t planted these plots yet. I only disced them this morning to get ready for planting when I have rain in the forecast.

$10 bag o wheat and a lil crimson clover
I'm throwing all this down Sept 14th just like last year
50lbs of winter wheat and 50lbs of elbon rye got broadcasted on my pipeline on September 9
The last three nights I have two lil piggies on camera that have been vacuuming all of my seed up
They don't even touch the corn
The raccoons have been taking care of that
I'm about to head out on vacation for the last half of this week and it looks like it is going to rain and cooler temps. So, I'm headed down to my place tomorrow morning to sling some seed and pull a drag over it. Then let mother nature take over.
Well, mother nature apparently wasn't nice to me for my effort. I got all the seed slung and used the drag over it, plus a few other chores on Tuesday when it was 95 degrees but I thought it was going to be worth it because the forecast from the tropical storm was to put an inch on rain on my place. I texted the neighbor today and asked we got any rain and he said it didn't look like it.
Guess we will see what it looks like next weekend and hope for some rain to happen soon. Luckily, I bought more seed than what I needed on Tuesday so if I need to sling out some more than I've got it.
