Ultimate No Till Food Plot Planting Recipe

Vary information thank you jeff.

what best for a food plot when your only working with like 1/4 of an acre? i planted clover and turnips late yr amd it came up part way.

Quick question. What do you recommend using to kill off grass. Will the glyfocate work for that as well

Jeff excellent and informative video. I will be trying this technique in south Louisiana hardwoods this year. Have some small 3/4 & 1 acre areas within the woods that is hard to navigate with heavy equipment. The 2-4-D and Glyphosate ratio, is that for a 15 gallon water tank or larger that you show in the video? Thanks!

I watched it two times. Thanks Jeff!

Do you absolutely need to spray the buckwheat with glyphosate’s after knocking it down?

For pure sand in Traverse City MI when do you start the lime after the April/may roundup spraying ? And how much per acre is a good range ?

I’ll be doing this on a 60 Acre area we have in nw mn. High deer density. Has some good locations that have already open grassy areas within the aspen woods that I would like to food plot. I’m not comfortable burning. Would you skip the buckwheat and just use the grass as a thatch bed? Or would I need to mow the grass down and kill it with gly in order to plant buckwheat. I’m concerned about soil content with the buckwheat seed. Thanks. I’ll look for your response. And thanks for the video. Side note. I have a pull behind mower and an Atv sprayer and hand spreader.

Why use Glyphosate and 24D. Glyphosate kills everything and 24D only kills broadleaf plants correct?

I get that the PackerMAXX is a high quality implement and it does a perfect job but with chemicals doubling in price and for the sake of savings would a cheap lawn roller achieve the same results?

Can you plant Cave in Rock switchgrass seed using this method?

Idk if you will see this but I was wondering if you can use “ killz all” 43% glyphosate..on the buckwheat and still seed before you crush. I have small plots and can only find glyphosate in really expensive sizes.. thanks jeff.. so basically well that product give problems with The sweet Brasca blend seed germination

I have an area in a cattle pasture I’m hoping to do this. It’s basically a lawn right now. If I sprayed it off and then broadcast the buckwheat, do you think it will get enough soil contact?

Boring....heck no... creating a No-till small / 1 Archer plot / wooded... we need the simplest method with the best results

Thank you for all the content you all provide. What setting do you put your earthway spreader on for the buckwheat? I have roughly an acre to spread.

Jeff I have a question for you, is planting winter wheat basically the same as planting buckwheat when preparing for your Brassica planting?

Can you apply pellet lime during the buckwheat planting? Or when would you apply lime in the no till sequence?

Jeff, what about solarization or occultation for smaller plots to eliminate weeds before planting if someone had a desire to avoid chemicals as much as possible? Would that not be a possibile solution?

When do I plant in north Mississippi

Hello,
Have you ever had an issue with wildlife eating the majority of buckwheat seed before it is germinated? My plot is getting pounded by all types of wildlife. Plot was seeded with buckwheat 4 days ago. Thanks

Great info Jeff , thank you !!

Jeff, if you were going to put together a blend of winter peas, and winter rye how much each would you plant? What would be the percent of each?

Heading to my farm/land tomorrow 8/1/22 that is 1 1/2 hrs west of Chicago... im so psyched. My plan: on 6/20/22 i planted buckwheat. At planting time, my ph level was 7.5....buckwheat now Its 4 ft high on my cams...

My plan: .spreading 1/2 my plots tomorrow w brassica mix>>> /then crushing cultipacking w my atv/packer maxx >> then i have a FIMCO atv 25 gallon sprayer.... 2 quarts per acre glyphosate. So far so good.

In 3 weeks im repeating this proccess w rye, oats, soy beans mixture and other grasses on the other 1/2 of my buckwheat cover crop 🤞

So disheartening! This is ONLY about getting deer to your land! I'm trying to keep them out!

What type of rye? Winter?

Nice

I'm actually attempting to create a doe factory, as we are meat hunters, not trophy hunters, so this information was useful in spite of itself!

Do you spray glyphosate when you run the buckwheat over or should weeds not grow

can not buy glyphosate where i live. only the government is allowed to use it here. and other types can be used , or are there othere ways to kill weeds like different types of plants growing instead of chemicals

Incredible info. Is this method outlined in your food plot book?

Will this method only work in plots with full sun? Buckwheat needs full sun, I thought.

"if you do have a insert various farm vehicles here - My guy, I got a 1998 F-150 and I plan on "rolling" the buckwheat by smashing it down by stomping a 2x4 down with rope attached to each end for handles like the crop circle guys...

Great video Jeff. Very informative. I recently had my property timbered and a 4 acre area cleared with a dozer. Getting a soil sample done this week. What do you suggest on cleared timber land that has bare soil and needs to be smoothed out? Really rough from being timbered

What do you do with the brassica side until June? Won’t it be bare soil in the spring?

Are your ratios of 24d and glyfulsate per 1 gal of water for a mixture? New to using the chemicals and just wasn’t sure how you go about mixing it. And I assume you mix with water

I love your way of putting chemicals above tillage because it is true that chemicals are not good for the environment. However, what you're using instead of chemicals is not good for your crops. It's kind of two-faced but I like your explanation . It's all about what you want to protect. Your crops or the environment most times you'd be better off protecting your crops as that benefits you and the environment doesn't quite as much if you know what I'm saying

What would you recommend for people who have bees and can't use chemicals to kill out the weeds?

Been watchign a lot of videos on this and have a big question. Im in west texas and doing a few small food plots. Area is surrounded by cotton. Our summers are Hot and dry/ 20-25 inches of annual rainfall. In summer, there isnt as much browse for deer because of the hot dry conditions. Could I do this same rotation, but also combine Lab Lab to the buckwheat to provide good summer food options and still roll it down/spray it after throwing the fall seed into it?

How about a harrow rake upside down instead of a cultapacker?

Jeff I have a established Ladino clover plot. Can I plant your Buckwheat right into the clover or do I need to kill it first?

I have a established clover plot. Can i broadcast your Buckwheat into the clover or do i need to kill the clover out first?

Killing is killing, both a poor choice for your own health, fast way isn’t the best way to

Fertilizer amounts

I've seen charts that show as the use of glysophate increased, the rate of food allergies and digestive diseases increased. Just because big ag is doing it is not a good arguement. In fact, it is a good reason to not do it.

Oklahoma here. My seeding timeline would be early September. Would clover do well in the fall seeding?

Can you sow brassica blends in June into standing buckwheat, and then mow the buckwheat low with a sickle bar? I have a sickle, but don’t have a cultipacker or roller

What is good to put with buckwheat in florence sc on a deer plot

Hey first off thank u for this process laid that you are sharing how you make your money and that’s very awesome of you. Second I’m in the middle to upper part of SC , should I still plant the buck wheat first days of June or more towards the end of June ? If you don’t mind sir. Thank you and God Bless 🇺🇸

Trying this now! Just tilled up a new food plot to level everything but going no till from here on out. 2 buckwheat rotations into brassicas in my favorite plot. Excited to see how this goes.

A term used to discribe a "no-till" plot that has had any empliment ran over it is " minum-till". If you just use a drill and nothing else, it's a "minum-till" plot. Note from an old farmer.
