In this video, @DrDisturbance gives a step by step on how to balance your fall deer plots to increase turkey productivity in the spring. Note that the seed blend can be adjusted to suit your individual needs but we recommend that the cereal grain be secondary to the crimson clover. Also, crimson is preferable because it senesces early and allows desirable forbs to colonize to support brooding. If your undesirable weeds are forbs, you can change the initial planting to be wheat and oats without the clover to use broadleaf selective herbicides. Always make sure you follow the label on herbicide applications!
