It looks great. How attractive is that mix to the deer?

I was worried it would take a frost for them to start eating the brassicas, however that wasn't the case at all. First time trying it this year and the deer, hogs and turkeys are absolutely hammering it. We are seeing 3-4 times the amount of deer from previous seasons. I'm really looking forward to the clover coming in flush during spring when the rest dies off. Next year I'll likely add wheat and increase the % of winter peas, to give the brassicas more time to mature. This field is one of the bigger plots, but the smaller plots are sparse from overgrazing.

Great looking plots CF. How many years have you had the Firminator? How do you like it? Have you had any issues with it?

I've been running a Plotmaster since 2011. My next planter will be either a Woods or Firminator?

Just purchased it this season. It was excellent. 20 acres planted in just one day. I will say we debated between the 6 ft and 8 ft models, and I'm glad we eventually went with the 8 ft. I researched it for at least three year before the purchase. I was still skeptical about how it would perform in wet muddy soil and it exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend it. You can see how smooth it left the seed bed.

I’ve owned a Firminator for 3 years now. My only complaint in the amount of seed it leaves on top of the ground while planting. So this past weekend I got a chance to compare the Plot Master vs The Firminator. My adjoining neighbor has a Plot Master. We both prepared our fields identical before planting soybeans. He planted two field and I planted two fields. Our soil samples are near identical. I will tell you first hand... The Plot Master blew the doors off my Firminator. Like I said I’ve used the Firminator for 3 years now planting over 18 acres of food plots.
