Best high protein food plots area 9, Iberville parish

I always plant winter rye in late summer and then soy in the spring.

200ac is not much

Not much what?

Not sure how well it’ll grow in your area, but clover is fantastic. It produces well in late winter and into the spring.

Doesn't mean we should discourage people from creating better habits and available resources for their local population.

I wasn’t discouraging him just asking a question to better understand his goals. Since he came here asking I assume he is new to food plots. So many folks just think they can throw out 3 plots and three protein feeders and see booners in 2yrs.
If I suggest soybeans and he only has 3 plots that are 1/5 ac per plot he will be disappointed when they are all wiped out.
And if the neighbors all around him are planting corn and beans then he may not even see any impact from planting anything and would be better off creating bedding cover.

Deer will travel for higher nutrition, . We’ve done iron clay peas a few times and it seems like we see bigger horns when the plots do well. The trick is keeping them out until they’re ready for grazing.

Also have a 1 mile long travel passage along the canal that could effectively serve as a pipeline style hunting lane. No pipeline though.

You're either near my house or off of rosedale road.

You want to see deer everywhere, plant turnips and mustard.

I threw out a few handfuls of old seed this year and that all got eaten before the grasses.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I know I can only impact so much with 200~, but hoping consistency over the long run makes a little bit of difference. Not sure how far the doe population travels daily, but we seem to hold them really well each season.
