I am playing with the weed whacker again and am clearing a patch of thicket for a food plot. Are there any mixed seeds that y'all prefer and sources where to get them ?? It will probably end up being a couple of acres next to the pond and creek its in full sun and relatively level ground sandy clay with a thin covering of rotted leaf litter if that makes a difference.

I have been planting round-up ready beans and the deer eat them as they grow and then eat them in the winter after they mature. Tried corn and the coon destroy smaller plots before they do deer any good in winter and tried turnips and they didn't get very much attention. The beans look mowed off 10 inches high as they are growing, deer love them. Spray area when you plant and maybe one or two times as needed to keep them clean. I did a mix of round-up and 2-4-D 10 days before planting to kill the mares tail that has become resistant to round-up for the burn down and it worked well last year and the food plots were clean and the beans did real well. You might not need the 2-4-D in your area if it has not been farmed with round-up.

Talk to some local farmers, lots of them have last years extra replant beans they got for back up incase they needed to replant. I usually get mine for free because they are a year old. They grow fine.

Scuba I’m a fan off half and half. Early green for the fall and grain for the winter. After 20 plus years of experience with food plots. I really like green and grain. It’s wheat/Milo here. I would suggest the wheat or rye grass on half and beans or milo on the other half. Not sure how Milo grows in your area. I’ve posted before about cutting 1000’s of acres of corn, wheat, and milo a year. A milo field we have 10 times the animals in it at harvest than any other fields. Tons of bugs for the Young birds and cover and grain for everything else. From coons and skunks to quail and deer they all love milo. Good luck
Everything the left touches it destroys

Scuba, if you plan to spray with an ATV sprayer with round-up to burn down or if you plant round-up ready beans. Talk to a local farmer, not only to get left over seed but chemicals. They buy in 250 Gal. or 500 Gal. tubs and you can get round-up concentrate for anywhere from 12 to 20 bucks a gallon from them. 4 to 6 oz, a gallon will smoke your weeds. I already have clover strips for firebreaks in my warm season native prairie grass so that is why I just plant honey holes with soybeans. They already have plenty of grass and clover forage.
