- Food plots that work for you to attract white-tailed deer. Time release food plot seed blends can attract and feed deer and turkey throughout the year. See how having really high quality and ample groceries right now turkeys and deer can be as productive as they're biologically capable. That means turkeys can lay as many eggs as possible and antlers are getting off to a great start. It’s allowing those critters to express their genetic potential.

Soil health can be extremely complicated. But we can break it down really simply. It’s important to always keep the soil covered. Bare soil, naked soil, can be eroded. It can get too hot or too cold and it doesn’t hold soil moisture.
There are benefits to having a living root in the soil as many days as possible. And that living root, again, is using the top of the plant - photosynthesis - to pump very valuable foods and other items into the soil for the soil biology. And in turn, the soil biology is making the plant healthier.
At least during a portion of the year, there should be a large variety of plants having different root sizes and depths and, really important, different leaf sizes and different leaf heights. This will serve to capture all that sun before it hits the ground.
That diversity of plants also has different root structures. Some of them will be very deep and strong which will break up hard pans and allow moisture to move up and down through the soil as needed.
Following some simple principles in your food plot can mean you’ll have way healthier soil, healthier plants, larger deer and attract more deer in front of your stand.
It all starts with the simple soil health principles. Now, can you do this with synthetic inputs? Yes, of course you can. But, there’s a cost to that.
Tillage always means erosion; synthetic inputs usually end up in somebody’s water system somewhere. Following the natural system I call “The Release Process” is the healthiest and, in the long run, the least expensive process.
As always I appreciate your videos, especially the powerful messages at the end. Thanks Dr. Grant and I hope you and your family have a great Easter! God Bless

Thanks Mike! I greatly appreciate the blessing!
Awesome video very informative. Thank you for the ending. Great info about the truth of Christ.
Great information Grant. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Thanks Rusty - me too!
FATHER TO YOU I GIVE ALL THE PRAISE, HONOR, AND GLORY IN JESUS'S NAME AMEN..AMEN..AMEN!!! GOD BLESS.
thanks for the food plot information.
Lukas - Welcome!
I’m fixing to plant corn and Milo.
Those crops are good attractants! Deer like grain during the hunting season.
Great information, thank you! Praise the Lord!!!
Belinda - Thanks!
Great job guys. Praise the Lord.
Amen!
Amen!
I've bought your Summer Release blend and I can't wait to get it on the ground! I'm trying my best to be patient and not plant it too early. Here in East TN, pollen is prevalent now and trees are budding and showing their leaves finally.
Great! Be sure and wait till the soil temp is 60 degrees at 2" deer at 9am and there's ample soil moisture or rain in the forecast. You can use the following website to check the soil temp where you will plant:www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature
I just planted the summer release blend this past weekend in N. Central Texas with the Genesis 5. Can’t wait to see its progress!
@@MontgomeryCustomHome I am very excited to see it's progress as well! I wish I had the goliath crimper, or a similar implement at my disposal. That would save on a lot of money for me not having to spray as my only form of crop termination.
Amen Dr. Grant!!
Thanks!
Rye and clover from last season starting to pop the one thing I hate is spraying herbicides too kill the weeds and good vegetation with it but it’s necessary in order to get the spring/summer planting of buckwheat, oats and crimson clover going all the biomass, nitrogen going into my soil to add organic matter in hopes for my fall plot consisting of a blend of brassica/ med red clover on one side of my plot and peas,beans,oats and later on top dress 200 pounds of rye grain to the green or cereal side of plot, I’ve been on quite a few of these channels and sure am glad I found you ! You make the most sense too me,so thank you for the information you put out and of Happy Easter
Thanks for the kind words and Enjoy Easter!
Great video! I’m in central Ohio. I would love an exact regiment to follow. Only a 1.5 acre field to feed deer. Whatever I have planted, it gets mowed to stubble.
Great testimony and witness for our Creator!
Thanks!
I always enjoy your information. I'm in middle GA which is a lot different style habitat from what you have. But I think my favorite part of your videos is how you finish with always take time to listen to the creator. But this one is especially important because it falls right in line with this weekend. Thanks the for the great information but more importantly the positive message that you always have at the end of your videos
Middle Ga here as well, these practices get laughed at here by a lot of folks down here, they flat out work though. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now and definitely see the benefit.
@@ashleysmith4191 yeah they certainly do. I hunt Talbot county and have been following Grant for years and even though I hunt a timber lease just the information I've gained from him and his guys I try to use in my area that I hunt it has made a huge difference over the last couple years. When I get back to camp and hear some other guys complaining about not seeing deer I just show photos on my phone of deer I saw and let my trail cam pictures speak for themselves. Grant has definitely figured it out and has proven you don't need thousands of acres of private property to grow good deer or turkey or whatever. Just manage for you want and in a few years you can have it!!
Ashley - Thanks for sharing! It's very tough for most folks to accept change.
Kyler - it is great country!
My Lord has risen and he's alive.
Jim - He has risen indeed!
Thank you
Eric - Welcome!
Excellent, informative video as always. Keep up the good work.
Thanks James!
BOOM!!! Without the resurrection, there is no hope! Thank you Grant for bringing the truth!
Thanks Bill!
Love the videos.
Thanks!
Good show thanks!
Edward - Thanks!
Thank you sir
Welcome!
Great video
Thanks Heather!
Awesome videos. Thank you!
Thanks Draco!
Enjoyed the video as always..the food plot sure look good
Thanks Eugene!
Just found your videos. Really got into hunting this year. Did my first Thunder chicken hunt this spring. I have the bug bad lol
Your videos really scratch my itch and puts some great knowledge in my grey matter. I appreciate what you do and sharing it with us.
Welcome to the family and thanks for the kind words!
Cool 😎 thanks 😊
Welcome!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Thanks for sharing!
Dr Grant, what do you say to people that criticize blends that combine cereal grains and brassicas?
Craig - The proof is in the pudding! We and several other food plot farmers have had excellent results with quality blends that include cereal rains and brassicas. That proof is so common it's silly to hint otherwise.
As always, amazing video, tons of VALUABLE info.
do you have/or could you do a video series prebuffalo system? In other words, I need to get my plots to this system, however, would like some more info on how to take a reclaimed mine field or CRP field from start to finish where I go from weeds to plot, using Buffalo system on healthy plots?
Ryan - Thanks for the kind words! Each farm is unique and the first steps will be based on how smooth the land is (can a no till plant it), what weeds or tree samplings are currently growing in the field, etc. Many CRP fields only require a burndown herbicide and no tilling! If the area has been in CRP for years, the soil should be in good shape!
Awesome video, great content. Happy Easter!
Thanks and enjoy Easter!
Well stated.
Thanks!
Grant how do I get the cereal grains in control now?? They are bolting and producing grain heads. The clover in with it is lush and green. I don't have a roller kremper. My options are spray or cut it. I want to drill some beans, sunflowers, buckwheat etc into the stands for a summer plot.
Calvin - you can spray with glyphosate. Rolling only works if you wait till the cereal grain heads are almost ripe - late during the dough stage where the seed is fully formed but not hard yet. Rolling won't terminate plants that aren't producing seeds in the dough stage.
Another very informative video. I like your 12 month plan. I am in south Louisiana, It is the last of October i only have brassicas and oats planted on a little 1/2 acre plot. I have another 1 1/2 acre plot to plant for spring. what month do you suggest planting Summer Release?
Tony - Depending in the weather each spring there, probably late March or early April.
Other than chicory what would you consider a forb? Would you try planting milo/ sorghum/ millet into white Dutch clover being it is so short?
Travis - forbs are flowering, non grassy plants. Sunflowers and buckwheat are great examples of forbs.
I know this has nothing to do with the video but I think you should do more videos on the importance of trapping to support turkey populations. The rapid decline of turkeys in missouri has a young 20 year old man like myself thinking that we wont have turkeys in the later part of my life.

Can you plant fall release blend every year or is it bad for the soil
Wayne - Quality blends like the Fall Release can be planted annually. Blends improve the soil's health. It isn't good for the soil's health to plant the same monoculture (species) year after year in the same place.
Do you have any concerns planting brassicas in the same plot year after year? I’m assuming no concern as long as you are doing it as part of a blend?
I don't have any concerns about using brassicas as part of a diverse blend for years in a row! Good blends are very good for the soil!
I notice sometimes you broadcast instead of drill, do most seeds come up this way as long as they're touching the soil and before a rain?
I do use the broadcast technique frequently in small plots and good crops results if there's good seed to soil contact and it rains soon after the seeds were broadcast.
What kind of milo
I don't know the variety name but it's an early maturing variety.
