This is my food plot in June. And mid June is a great time to rotate in that Buckwheat for the deer
The deer enjoyed my Winter Rye last fall and this spring . Now this serial grain (Winter Rye) has grown and matured to the point that deer will no longer eat it. It’s acting as a weed suppressant at this point. The Awn at the top of the stalks is just about to reseed . I do not want that . I wanna go into my next crop, Buckwheat .
Buckwheat suppresses weeds and attracts beneficial insects and pollinators with its abundant blossoms. It is easy to kill, and reportedly extracts soil phosphorus from soil better than most grain-type cover crops. Buckwheat thrives in cool, moist conditions but it is not frost tolerant, this is why we waited here in Upstate NY for early June to plant it . The buckwheat seed came from deer creek seed company and so far I have been happy with it
We will let the buckwheat grow and stand until end of summer . Then we are gunna use a cultipacker and smash it down. Into that buckwheat for the deer we will seed brassica and more serial grains . May do rye grain again. May try winter wheat this season
Let hope for great stand of buckwheat and get these deer in there for the fall bow hunting season. Stay tuned . Please like and follow always doing some land-management and deer Habitat type work around
the 🌿Ranch🍀
We terminated the rye with glyphosate sprayed 2 quarts per acre in my Chapin ATV sprayers
