Tall fescue, some random clover, got mowed 2x a year before it seeds the last 3 years. Sitting around 6"-6.5" height right now. No till, no spray, broadcasting only as I am wanting the grass for 2-4head of cows, so bloat is a concern but it could be a few years off.
Would you consider adding more clover/chic to it. I think I’d seed it have and mow with our clover mix. That’ll be good for soil. Balance fescue. And cows will eat on it fine.

If you’ve followed us for a while - you’ve know that I am a massive fan of seed treatments. I love using our Seed Feed, Seed Armr+ and Spectrum+Myco every-time I plant a tomato to a foodplot.

Don’t just take my word for it. Checkout this podcast. The data backing mycorrhizal inoculation from seed treatments is growing and it’s phenomenally exciting!

You hear me talk a lot about exclusion fences. That is because I believe they are so critically important - all times of year.

Right now in most of the whitetails range - you can walk your fields, look for sheds, and check your exclusion fences.

You’ll immediately be able to notice a difference- even this quickly out of dormancy.

This particular field is newer and I am working to get it up to par with my other fields. To increase root mass before I plant our Nitroboost - I over seeded this with our Annual Clover mix. We caught some rain and should get a frost or two that’ll pull that right into the perfect depth.

This will allow me to add more root mass and food for deer, microbes and turkeys (they love annual clover fields).

Get outside and enjoy the outdoors!
