[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 1659624, member: 1546"] Deer Slayer has did some extensive testing of different food plot seed mixes. He started a topic that was stickied at the top of the hunting and fishing section. It has some good information in it. I planted the fall blend mixed by Johnson seed company in Enid, however it is sold all over Oklahoma at various stores. They have more than one mixture but are both really similar. I also pick up feed oats from the co op to plant in addition to the food plot seed. I have added 1/2 pound of turnips to the oats. The food plot mix is around 28 bucks for 50 pounds and is a mix of rye, triticle, wheat, winter peas, turnips, and a brassica. It provides good coverage, whether or not every species sprouts and grows, I don't know. I know the deer are grazing in it constantly. The oats are around 9 bucks for 50 pounds. It provided good cover and the deer have been grazing in it just as much. I worked the ground a couple passes with a disk in early September and then again in October just before planting. I broadcast spread approximatley 100# of 10-20-10 fertilizer per acre. I then used same spreader pinched back a little more and spread 50 pounds of seed per acre and then drug a cattle panel over to cover seed. Prayed for rain and the rain has been good so far. This is the third year I have planted this mix for foodplots. I will likely plant my first spring plots this coming spring and I will be researching that soon. [/QUOTE]
