Spring rye as a nurse crop with red and white clover. 3/4 red to 1/4 white mixed. I'm guessing the turkeys will enjoy the field as well as the deer. I've also planted a few chinese chestnuts as well as a border of fir trees to eventually create more privacy in the food plot, (not to mention the yearly christmas tree). Thanks for asking

How did you get apple trees in there? I've been thinking of doing it to my PA property.

They are wild apples, most getting shaded out and dying, little tiny sparse leaves. I removed the trees around them and they perked up like crazy. A lot of fruit and deer last fall was the result.

Upstate .....congrats. Feel free to call me again....my other phone puked and I lost your #. Do Oats instead of Rye.........the allelopathic agents in the rye will suppress your clover. Just go to a local seed place and ask for "local" oats.

Rye suppress clover? Not according to his guy. http://www.qdma.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25851

The gardener I've been taking advice from said use either one, rye or oats. Rye add a little more nitrogen to the soil and oats is cheaper. I bought my seed today and bought oats at infiniti's recommendation. I hope to plant within a week or so.

Also release the apple trees slowly over 2 or 3 years. Releasing them to fast can stress them.
