re: 2025-26 fall food plots

I had a tornado come through the year before the buck picture and it took out about 60 big oaks. Buck numbers dramatically increased after that with the added cover.
After seeing the results, I’ve been doing TSI on big stands of sweet gums and plan on using prescribed fire. Habitat trumps food plots.

These have visited my food plot this week:

I was referring to that mix and rates of seed and/or if you were buying it already mixed.
Didn’t seem like it is a mix someone randomly comes up with on their own.

Man don’t laugh, but I took my ag soil sample results and uploaded them to ChatGPT and Grok. I gave the location and any possible relevant information/detail I could think to give and asked it to review everything as a wildlife biologist/food plot consultant with the goal of creating the perfect food plot mix for me.
That was the result I got back. So imma give it a try and see what happens.

Your plots are like mine. I planted half my annual plots with vetch and millet. The other half I let go to the native grasses. They use for laying down

I’m not. Did you do a normal soil sample or did you do a Haney? I will post my fall mixes in the morning or real close to what I am going to do.

I just did a normal soil sample through the LSU Ag department. For each plot, I went around with a bucket, pulled samples, mixed it up the soil to get a “average” then pulled and sample of that and sent to LSU.

Oats and wheat. But not until October. Army worms ate up nearly everything planted last September.

Have the deer ever eaten the plantain? Everyone I’ve known that tried it, said nothing touched it and it became a problem as a weed in their plots.

Pics?
We do mix of turnips, winter wheat, oats.
Last few years we had to deal with drought through the whole month of october. Food plots have turned out like shite. They forecast rain, we plant, and it doesn't rain for 3 weeks. Painful.

Can’t say I have ever seen them eat it. Was it Boston plantain they planted? I have a different type that comes up in some real crappy areas that were turn rows way back in the day

That’s one heck of a mix.
Also crazy to see the difference in planting amount. I’m planting about 5 acres total

Not sure? They just called it plantain?

Not meaning to derail any pics but I am new to this. We have some property that is oak trees with some trash trees mixed in. Knowing acorns are (normally) readily available, is it worth cutting and planting microplots? Or even small plots on the outskirts of the tree line?
I was going to start with the simple way…Throw and Gro clover mix on the areas that get sun.
Just not sure if any of this is worth it.
Appreciate the opinions.

Acorns will not cut it for the entire season. Do some micro plots and see how it goes.

Man you are derailing anything. I’ve learned a bunch from these threads over the years.
My thoughts would be to thin out the trash trees and put in a couple micro-plots. Use winter rye as a cover crop and plant a combination of chicory and clover.
If you’re looking at pre-mixed blends, I’ve had great success in situations like your planting a combination of Domain Outdoors No BS and Hot Chic.

I use regenerative mixes from Drop Tine that have Plantain in them the last few years. They also have Chicory in them which look similar. The Plantain absolutely gets crushed in the springtime. I mean like eaten to the ground. Then when it seems to peter out in the summer the chicory takes over and it's currently getting hammered.
