Got a great food plot going. Do you guys fertilize yours any after the initial fertilizing? If so, when and how often. It is a mixture of Wheat, oats, rye, and winter peas.

The deer will fertilize it.

Let the deer hit it. When they start wearing it out put ammonia nitrate on it around the first week of December.

300 lbs 13-13-13 at planting or shortly after--150 ammonium nitrate every 6 six after that.

uhhh stay with what I wrote.
None of those cool season plants "stop" growing in Louisiana and Mississippi. Oh in real cool weather or dry weather they will slow down but oats particularly will suck nitrogen out of the ground and give you very good forage all winter if properly fertilize.
Spend your money on fertilizer and forget trying to plant 10 different kinds of seed. PlotSpike Forage Oats are varieties developed by LSU and if fertilized properly and often enough will keep deer on a plot till May and will out yield any plant you mentioned you planted.
You are better off with a small well fertilized plot than a large plot just planted and left alone.

Sounds just like me. I was in a club for 4 years and they planted 8 acres worth of plots but would only buy 500lbs of fertilizer. I preached till I was blue in the face that if all we could afford was 500# the. Lets plant 2 good plots instead of 8 shitty ones
