[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 1792812, member: 8855"] I am currrently tilling my plots for another series of tests. I am using iron and clay cowpeas. They are drought tolerant and will do fine for the deer this summer. My last round of tests on winter wheat, triticale, and forage oats revealed that I was able to boost protein levels in excess of 31% on all products. This spring I have increased winter wheat and bermuda protein by 25%+. This last week I inspected the experimental farm near Canton and collected samples of wheat that showeed increase length in seed head from 1/1/4", with no enhancements, to 4 3/4" heads with foliar feeding and a soil supplement. This should produce significant increase in yield to the farmer. These are sprays that can be easily applied with a 4 wheeler or larger spray units. The cost is a fraction of fertilizer and increases drought tolerance for the plants. At the end of the day, I expect that the expense that the farmer incurred to apply these compounds will be a fraction of his increased yield. It will not cost him to use them, it will pay him to use them. He is tickled to death with what he has been able to accomplish. If anyone is interested in saving money on your food plots let me know.
