T.P.'s 8th annual food plot prep picher thread

[SR PLAN]

Thanks Canuck5. I only have a 1/2 acre clover plot with weeds the plot is about 4 years old. Can I spray it with glyphosate and at what rate? I have a 14 gal. sprayer and would I do this next spring?

What types of weeds do you have? Under your circumstances I would suggest you go the clethodim and butyrac route. Buying a gallon of each will last you a long time and not hurt your clover.

Spraying can be more of a science with the right equipment and herbicide. The tips used, the spraying pressure, the amount of water per acre and your ground speed all play a role in making sure you get the right amount of herbicide applied.

With the right equipment, moisture in the soil, actively growing 4 year old clover, in the spring, that has dropped seed before, spraying 1 quart per acre would set it back but clean up your plot and get a good stand again. 2 quarts per acre may toast it. A fine line, which may be difficult for you to apply.

Invest in the right chemicals and it will be hard for you to make a mistake.

You can spray clover with 1% glyphosate (you’ll have to do the math based on your tank size), but it really should only be done when your clover isn’t stressed from hot and dry weather.

THANKS, I can get clethodim and butyrac. I thought that glyphosate would do a better job at a low rate and not kill the clover. I use glyphoste 3 oz. to 1 gal. water in a plot with wheat and rye that does a good job.

Is there anything I can plant this late? One of my food plots flooded and on top of the pigs, I need to replant

Check the far right column, for minimum germination temperatures.




Then punch in your zip code, to see what your soil temperatures are. I believe you have time yet.

Stuff is growing ... a few areas got washed out, from that 6" of rain we got after planting, but most is good!

Winter wheat (pic 1) and Brassicas (pic 2) coming up really well. Have multiple strips of both interwoven through remnants of my dove field.

Getting a lot of does and some small bucks in it already. No big boys coming to play yet.

The plot work paid off. My youngest son got his first deer on his 11th birthday yesterday.

 

[Canuck5]

Congrats!!!!!

Put fertilizer out 2 afternoon now. I done the ones at home today. The one with the Aussie in it is turnips and deer been really tearing them up. The big plot is the one I experiment with a section with clover and oats(my boot in it) the lower section is rape, wheat and rye grass that I had to top off after that hard rain. We got some rain coming so gonna hope the shot of triple 17 helps. I've learned a lot on here and sure enjoy seeing these plots coming along.

Very Nice!!!!!!

Still a work in progress, 3 way cereal grains with some clover mixed in. Fertilized on the 27th. Sawtooths, pears and chestnut trees are still growing. First two pics are in sandy soil, it’s been a battle getting it built up over the years. One of the strips I just cleared and planted this year, it’s sandy and high, I don’t have much hope in it growing well during the summer.

Nice!!!!!

Terry had a successful weekend and got a 200 pound, 10 point.

The buffet is available, now

 

[Canuck5]

The interesting part about Terry's buck, is a doe came walking down a trail to a food plot and this buck was following her, when he shot him. There was another hunter in the group who was thrilled for Terry and I told him that he needed to hunt that same stand next. I told him there likely is another 3 bucks, not far from that doe, right now. If she is comes back to the food plot, which she likely will, there may be another buck in tow, and there was a nice 7 point, the next morning.

We planted the first weekend in October, with no rain in sight, then the following Tuesday we got 6" of rain and had some run off, in some areas. I was fearful that a lot of the small seeds were driven too deep. But, although there are a lot of weed seeds germinating as well in the picture, we've had recent germination of clover too. It amazed me.

 

[Canuck5]

It was a beautiful weekend and a couple more nice bucks were taken.

Planted oats, wheat, rape and crimson 2 1/2 weeks ago just before the rain. All coming up nicely.
Still have lots of late drop pears as well.
