Questions & Answers
In the fourth week of July, I began planting my plot. They began eating it in mid-November and are still doing so.
I planted half an acre for the second year in a row and it grew beautifully. To replenish nitrogen, I'll most likely plant clover next year.
Yes, but shading out would be a concern for me. Between a double-width corn row running E-W, I planted beets and greens. The plans were only a quarter of the open areas' height. I don't think interseeding is a good idea.

I'm using this product for the second year, and I'm planting in the Northern Lower Part of Michigan. I planted this one month ago after careful preparation of my not-so-great woodland foot plot soil. It's done fantastically well in the last month, and I'm looking forward to another successful season where the deer adore it. My deer dig through the snow to get at these beets and eat the greens until there is nothing left over in the winter and spring. It comes highly recommended.
It took a long time to get these things to grow, and even when they did, they didn't get very big! The pH of the soil was neutral, according to the test. Even though I planted them with two bags of fertilizer and another bag later, they only grew to be about 6 inches tall! That was not what I had hoped for.
Three stars because it did not appear to produce as advertised. Before anyone starts yelling about how I didn't soil test, let me state that I did. I also added the correct amounts to get the soil to the optimum level that they recommended. This spring, I'll conduct another soil test to see where we ended up; either the test was incorrect, the amount they recommended was incorrect, or this was old stock with low fertilization rates.
I wasn't expecting anything to grow, to be honest. Poor soil, late planting, no fertilizer, and a disc that wouldn't dig in. . . but, look, there it is! It was a pleasant surprise.
This product is fantastic; it grows quickly and even survived a drought.
East Texas food plot, planted on September 10th, is about 4 inches tall with very thick coverage on about 1 1/2 acres, and is currently outperforming my expectations. I'm looking forward to seeing how well our deer adapt to this new food source.
Many younger bucks arrived, many of whom I had never seen before I planted it. Sugar beats down on the roots of deer during the winter. Chicory and Alfalfa are both doing exceptionally well.
It grew up and the deer ate it, but only in ideal circumstances should it be planted: a lot of sunlight Shaded plots failed miserably.
