I have got this deer trail coming in. You can see the rub, always like the fine rubs, right before a food plot. We've got a bedding area right behind us. Coming here, and you see that this has been planted about a month. There's already been great utilization. Looks like about 6 or 7 inches inside; this is what we call a utilization cage. We can tell that this difference has been removed.
We can see this has all been browsed off, it leaves them squared off and we've got bare stems where it's been browsed off. This tells us how much the deer is utilizing this field. This is maximum. It's a blend of six difference Brassica. Brassica are these big broad greenly plants. The reason we have six, there is two varieties in here that grow really quick and are palatable right off the bat.
Then there is two, they are kind of mid season. They are growing real quick but their sugar content doesn't get very high until about a month into the growing, so deer don't eat them yet. And the last two, are extremely cold hearted. They are going to hang all the way into that late season, or even after season. So you've got early mid length. The advantage of that is as soon as you plant this, and it germinates and comes up, deer start feeding on it, early both season whatever.
It keeps on feeding, and providing forage for deer through the whole growing season. If we just ease right over here, we've got a equipped for some actually some bird plots of some milo. Some people call it sorghum. Deer don't eat these leaves at all. They are all pointed. They've not been torn or browsed off anywhere. When it makes the seed head mature, then deer will eat on them. This is great cover for birds and quail hunting in here but you would take up all this real estate for months and months just to get three weeks of feeding, where this is feeding deer the whole times it's growing, maximum, maximum tonnage of forage production. Maximum is what's going to bring us the deer.
