Question
Hey Grant. I have no food plots. I have around 220 acres to hunt around Grovespring, MO. We have a lot of deer on our property, and they look healthy. I am planning on planting some food plots this next year. We need most of our open land for hay, so I was planning on clearing a small spot in 40 acres of woods to plant. My question is what should I plant here? Thank you for all of your advice.

Ethan,

I’ve had much success with Eagle Seed Forage soybeans during the summer and overseeding them with the Broadside blend about 45 to 60 days before the first expected frost.  This rotation does a great job of building the soil (soybeans add a of nitrogen to the soil) and the Broadside blend does a great job of capturing nutrients and transferring them to deer. 

You can see us tagging several deer over this blend in the episodes we already shared this fall.

Enjoy creation,

grant
