Hey guys! I've got several food plots to put in this fall. Probably 15-20 acres worth. And I'm trying to decide what to do with them all. They all range from .5 acres - 3.5 acres.
One choice is to do straight clover for everything. (A blend of jumbo ladino, white and red). I do really like clover, and have several clover plots established already, but I just hear of so many having success with my other option - a mix of turnips and oats.
If you had the choice, would you all do the clover mix for every plot, or put a few in the turnips/oats combination?
I just get nervous putting in turnips because I've put in a brassica plot on one farm and it grew absolutely beautifully, and not a single deer touched it, a year after the plot was in alfalfa and I'd average 15-20 deer seen a night! I'd hate to put in all that effort for no deer to touch the plot!
