Buck Forage Oats and 4x4 Fall Mix

[Oklahomabassin]

The BFO's should really come on now that we have had a good rain.

Have you planted?

 

[Deer Slayer]

Yes, I planted the farm a couple weeks ago with Vince and Creekwood before that just waiting for some rain. The BFO's are up at the farm and Creekwood is starting to come out of dormancy.

As soon as the rain quits and the weather warms up later part of the week the food plots should be coming on strong.

The 4X4 Fall mix this year is the same as last year at $35.00 for a 5 pound bag which will cover a half acre. The bag contains over 700,000 seeds. The Buck Forage Oats are $$41.00 for a 50 pound bag tax exempt, same as last year. The planting rate is 100 pounds per acre. The BFO's will provide, approximately, 40% more forage than winter wheat. Several of my customers that formerly planted winter wheat have noticed that the oats have been attracted more deer than the wheat did. It is best to plant these mixes around the 15-21st of September to maximize the germination as these are cool season seeds.

I will place my order during the last week of August so please let me know of your needs. Your orders are always appreciated.

You're out of my area, but you have me interested. Will any BFO do? I usually plant wheat the 1st of Sept, can I plant this that early?

There is only 1 Buck Forage Oats. These are developed to survive South Dakota winters and won't freeze out. I have personally talked to the Phd that developed them and have used them for years and have never had them turn yellow in the winter. I have had hunters plant them in northern Kansas and the oats didn't yellow and same with hunters in Nebraska.

I will say it again these need to be planted in mid September to virtually guarantee that you will get good germination because the soil moisture is much higher because of the Fall rains. I have had people plant them around the first of September after the first rain and then it turned hot again and they withered because the soil moisture was not high enough yet. These oats will provide, approximately 40% more forage than winter wheat.
I sold 2,000 pounds of BFO's to a rancher who planted them and put a hot wire around them to keep the cattle out. He was able to increase the carrying capacity of his winter wheat because all the deer left the wheat for the oats. I want you to be successful with your planting and NOT set you up for a failure. These are cool season seeds.

Cool! I'll send you a PM shortly to place my order. For those on the fence about the BFO and 4x4. I've bought from George the last two seasons and super happy with the outcome of my food plots and the amount of deer they attracted. I'm pretty new to the food plot thing on my own landand couldn't be happier with its production. My FIL has hunted for the last 60 years building his food plots and he was very happy with howmy food plots looked.

Parks 788 - Thank you for your kind words of support. As you know by now, I strive to make every person's plots to be the best I can. I have planted food plots since approximately, 1984 and I made some mistakes back then but I learned from them. I work with a retired Okla Certified Soil Scientist to make the seed selections that are drought tolerant and occasionally we have to adjust the mix due to seed availability. We use a certified soil lab to determine what the soil deficiencies are and then recommend liquid fertilizer blends to meet the micro and macro nutrient deficiencies. We are remediating the soil. I have 34 years of remediation experience in the agricultural, water and wastewater fields plus remediating saltwater and hydrocarbon in the oil and gas industry.

Deer and deer management is one of my passions.

Where does one pick up BFO if ordered?

Where does one pick up BFO if ordered?

He's retired - just make him drive it to you! Couldn't help it George. And to add what was mentioned, the BFO's that he gets do much, much better than the FO's you'd get at say Tractor Supply.
