Best plot for hunting season

Well i am using frigid forage big and beasty. On midwest whitetails they dont say you can keep planting it year after year every year...... hence why i wanted to know if its a "must" that you rotate your crops

You can plant feigid forage year after year. However, for best results I would rotate every 3 years or so and do as I suggested and try different options. Your paying an unnecessary premium for the "name" and pretty deer photos that they put on the front of the bag. Find out what's in FF and go and have your locoal grain co-op mix you up something and it will cost you half as much.

 

I plant my food plots in strips. Brassicas in 1 strip,soy beans and cereal grains in another, corn in another. clover and chickory in another. I rotate the strips every year. I leave the clover and chickory for 3 years then work it up and plant corn or brassicas in it. Variety variety variety. If your plots are big enough to do this it works very well.

 

Soybeans

 

If you would like to plant a cereal mix like winter rye and oats and also turnips, rape, radish I would recommend stripping the plot into two food sources. Below is an example of how I plant most of my plots.

Turnip mix on left and cereal mix on right planted about a month apart
