re: Dove Field Update

If you’re planting with a planter or drill in an area without a lot of deer something around 5lbs/ acre is fine. I plant more than double that because I have a very bad deer problem. The years I’ve planted with a drill they just walk down the row and annihilate every plant in 2-3 nights. My best bet is to broadcast about 15lbs/ acre and figure for 30%- 40% loss due to deer. This year the deer were not as bad.
