Believe it or not, food plot season is right around the corner. 🔜
If you're planning a fall food plot, now's the time to start thinking ahead.
For most of the Midwest, late July through mid-August is the sweet spot for planting brassicas, giving them enough time to establish before cooler temperatures arrive. A quality brassica blend typically includes turnips, radishes, r**e, and kale, creating a high-protein food source that becomes even more attractive after the first hard frosts as the plants convert starches into sugars. That's why so many hunters see deer flock to these plots right when the season starts heating up.
Whether you're planting a destination plot or a small kill plot tucked into the timber, a well-established brassica blend can help keep deer on your property deeper into the fall and winter while adding another reliable piece to your habitat plan.
