I’d get an exclusion cage on that field if I were you. Especially since your trying it out. Any deer traffic on it yet? I haven't gotten any on camera yet. That field is funny. I planted soybeans on it one spring, and the deer left them alone for a bit, and then it was like they discovered them one day, and the next day, no more soybeans. I have to go mow, plant and start spraying, hopefully the weather holds this weekend and I can do that. I have a few fields I want to plant in peas and sunn hemp. Alot of mine have good stands of clover, so mowing will help get that going.

I wonder if alfalfa would work in a throw and mow planting? Its pretty expensive to take a chance on if you ask me. I will say I have done a lot of throw and mow, and it works, but, depending on the type of forage, I get better results if I disk and plant, like with soybeans. After last fall, I hate to even try to throw and mow winter wheat. Turkeys wear it out. The don't seem to be able to do that as much with cereal rye.

I think it would work, because the seed is small. Thinking of trying a small 1/4 plot as an experiment. I bet it would do fine in fields where someone has already been building topsoil for a number of years

Are the deer hammering it? Looks good. It's hard to tell without a cage on it
