Question food plots

all you deer hunters I would like to hear some of your input in food plots. when do yall plant your fall plots?
what are yall finding grows the best and most liked by the deer?
how big of a food plot do yall plant?

I know this is early just trying to see what everyone else is doing
thanks

I plant mine in avoyelles parish the last week of september. I have had the most success with rape, chicory, red clover, and winter wheat. I like to plant the rape the heaviest. I did soil samples 4 years ago and got the soil right so now I top with a couple hundred lbs. of triple 13 and all is good. You have to remember that the deer will not typically hit the rape until after a frost and the insides become sweet.

cajun have you ever used any alfalfa. the place i hunt in missouri. has huge alfalfa fields. the deer love them. don't see too many around here. i'm sure there is a reason. also this is a perennial comes back for up to five years and don't rob the soil

I dont use alfalfa this tends to be more mid west for some reason. If I had to plant one thing it would be rape. The biggest waste of money for me over the years were turnips. They never ate them and last year I plowed some up as big as footballs. My 3 favorite attractants are rape and rice bran and does in heat
