A "Corn Feeder" type, with 30 years of planting annuals and perennials for wildlife. There's ton's of profit motivated propaganda out there, about what to plant for deer. There are thousands of variables, that can effect the attractiveness and productivity of "food plots".


Rye grass works pretty good. It is pretty easy to grow, and affordable.


Electric fences work pretty good. Not however, if you have horny Bulls, and Cows in "heat", on both sides of just an electric fence.


To each their own "Small-s"guy.

What does profit have to do with a species that occurs naturally in Louisiana, and is also planted successfully and heavily browsed by deer in food plots across the state?


You sit here pontificating about how there is "profit motivated propaganda out there", and promote ryegrass, rye, and wheat. Whether it's affordable or not, someone makes a profit on selling the seed. One could just as simply promote native vegetation and not spend any money on food plot seeds or seed mixes. what "profit motivation" does LDWF, NRCS, or the LSU AgCenter have in recommending particular species for food plots? None.

Didn't he say he wants to keep the cows off of it, meaning the cows will only be on one side of the fence?
