Food Plot Mix Ratio?

I thought I was high @ 200lbs/a really in the past. But it worked

We are in North Central Louisiana with red dirt and iron ore heavy in some areas. When we started 20+ years ago we followed the 100 lbs per acre recommended and got poor results. Then.we started doing soil test and loaded up.witb tons of lime and fertilizer and got it right. Still while plots grew better they were thin. Move on a few years we double to 200 and cameras .became the thing. What we saw then was once we planted our seed bed became a food source for anything that liked eating seeds. That is how we ended up with our recipe.

I poisoned grass & weeds earlier and we planted this week.
No army worm issues and hog proof fences.
Excited to see results.

Our base mix for all plots is the following per acre. We add rape, turnips, multiple clovers, chuffa and chicory to various plots.


100 lbs Forage Oats
100 lbs Forage Winter Wheat
50 lbs Cereal Rye
50 lbs Austrian Winter Peas

That seems very high per acre. No way I would put down over 200 lbs per acre on a good seed bed

Me too, but I only know my situation.

I usually double the recommended seeding rate. But we poor boy our plots.

same here, in case some of it never comes up.
