North Texas food plot?

[FireNguns]

Got a nice area prepped and ready to plant in Grayson county
What do y’all recommend to make deer happy and provide them with an irresistible food source?

If it is your first time planting a food plot, go with wheat, oats and rye. 80 lbs to an acre.

Yes it is the first time. Just want to plant something that will do well.

Food Plot

soybeans or wheat

soybeans will die fst frost...Oats are fast but cold hurts /wheat /elbon rye/arrow leaf clover do well with cold...just slower coming on

True

... but we get first frost late December and it gets cold enough to burn oats late January. It works here. It ain’t Wisconsin like all the YouTube planters harp on. Always mix beans of some sort in fall plots for drawing power. Oats are preferred here and will feed 3/4 of the season. After that wheat and rye can take over.

I use the deer mix from MBS seed in Denton, it's wheat, oats, rye, and Austrian winter peas. 100 lbs to the acre.

Add a clover like Crimson to that and some cheap turnips and you’ll have an all year plot buffet. Crimson will reseed and pop in spring. Also, I’d go heaviest on the Cereal Rye as it’ll last longer into season than the Oats (Frost = dead) and also much better for the soil for future plantings. Maybe 75% Rye and the rest Oats/Wheat. Go back over the top with clover and turnips. Can also go back with another bushel or 2 about 3 weeks after planting and sow Rye again. It’ll create a layering effect with new growth and older growth as well as fill in the spots that didn’t germinate well the first round. Good luck

If we don't get some rain in North Texas, it won't matter what you plant because nothing will germinate. Or if it does, it will dry out and die.

Thanks for the info. Going to the co-op to buy seed in the morning.
