My Real World soybeans I bought off you fell to failure while battling what I call the perfect storm .

Due to the size of the plot, they were over browsed by deer, groundhogs and rabbits. Along with the unprecedented drought and hot weather we had here, they didn’t have a chance.

Most years with good moisture, they were able to stay ahead of the critters and although they don’t usually get real tall, they produced pods.

Enter GrandPa Ray. Food Plots John O’Brion

On July 28th with the prediction of rain, I went ahead and broadcast 2 bags of Grains & Greens and 1 bag of Frosty Delight along with 5#’s of buckwheat over the beans.

Well no rain showed up and one week later I very little to no germination – only some of the buckwheat and in a few damper spots some Frost Delight.

One week later we started to get some rain on a regular basis and low and behold, you see the results.
Most of this growth occurred in the last 10 days. It’s amazing what some rain can do. The beans are also coming along too and still providing forage.

I started putting in food plots approximately 15 yrs. ago. My soil is sandy and I plant “staging” plots for the deer inside my woods.

Never have I had to cut my clover because it had grown too high. Last year I started using the Grandpa Ray 9-4-9 plant food on this 2 yrs. old clover plot. I had to cut it 3 times!!!

I decided to see if it was a fluke that this happened, so am again using the 9-4-9 this year and as you can see the plot is nearing cutting height in this early June pic. This stuff works!!!
