    I know there is a food plot section in the forums but I feel it will get more views here.. I am looking for a few different food plot blends.. What do you guys prefer or what have you had the best luck with?

    I'm a big fan (but not affiliated with) Greencoverseed.com. I've done a lot of business with them over the last few years and they're always first class folks to work with. They offer several options for mixing custom blends, bagging, etc... They do "cover crop seed" but most of it is exactly the same plant species needed/used for food plots and they're generally quite a bit cheaper than anyone else. They have quite a selection of stuff and even have a smart mix feature that will give you a soil health score of your blends depending on what you want it to do (besides feeding wildlife).

    Best luck with, depends on what you want from a blend?

    So you know where it is supposed to go but you do what you want anyway, the food plot section would get more traffic if people put more new topics there. Stop being self indulgent you are part of the problem. Is your question that urgent do you need to plant tomorrow?

    They are locally owned right here in my home town. I like their After Frost blend.

    My momma taught me to put things away where they belong, not where I feel like leaving them.

    I like things to be put in their proper place, only excuse not to is either laziness or ignorance.

    Both have served me pretty well for 40 years my friend, think of all the grief you've caused yourself by worrying about arbitrary little details. :lol:

    Careful not to confuse laziness and ignorance with vile and communist. Lazy people can be damned handy when you need to find a fast and easy way to get something done and ignorance can be blissful, I can't really think of any bright sides to the other two. :lol:

    The world goes tick tock, tock tickers slow progress when little effort extra is needed to do it properly. Put the damn topic where it belongs, perhaps we can get a mod to weigh in on this.

    I don't know which is worse, a misplaced topic or spamming up a thread...are you off your blood pressure and anti-inflammatory meds again?
