Grant,
What would be some good food plots for our land in Massena New York (upstate) I truly enjoy watching all of your hunts and educational advice.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

I’ve traveled through Massena frequently going to projects near Potsdam, Silver Lake, Beaver Lake, etc.  That’s neat country!

There are lots of soybeans and corn grown in the flatlands of that area.  Deer love soybeans during the summer and brassicas and forage wheat during the winter. My clients have had much success with Eagle Seed’s Northern Manager’s blend of forage soybeans there during the summer and overseeding it with the Broadside blend during late July or early August.

Enjoy creation,
