What’s a good food plot crop for west Texas?
Filed under: Food Plots
Question
Hello grant, I would like to know what food I should put out for the deer on the ranch I hunt. We have twelve 150 acre or bigger plots that are all in wheat. I live in west Texas and was wondering what you think would be a good food for helping grow the deer to their full potential. I also have around 10 smaller food plots (50 acres) what do you think I should put in those? Thanks for the help.
Ethan,
Wow! 12 x 150 is 1,800 acres of food plots!! That’s a commercial farming operation – not a food plot program. I suspect wheat is working well in that area if 1,800 acres is committed to the program.
Wheat that is appropriately fertilized can provide quality forage, especially in areas such as west Texas where it can be too dry to grow other crops.
Enjoy creation,
grant
