Скачать или смотреть Steve Chilcote's Frost Seeding Strategy for Premium Clover Plots

Frost seeding clover is one of the easiest ways to improve a deer food plot in early spring. In this video, wildlife habitat consultant Stephen Chilcote demonstrates how to frost seed clover and other small seeds into an existing food plot where wheat has overwintered.

Instead of planting a monoculture clover plot, this method uses a diverse seed mix including Balansa clover, Crimson clover, red clover, Persian clover, chicory, collards, and rape. Each plant peaks in nutrition at different times during the growing season, providing deer with high-quality forage throughout the summer.

Frost seeding works because the natural freeze–thaw cycle helps pull small seeds into the soil and creates good seed-to-soil contact without tillage. This makes it an excellent strategy for maintaining perennial food plots and improving wildlife forage.

Clover likes cool, wet weather and it likes to be seeded on the surface since the tiny new plants dont have enough energy to push through soil like soybeans, corn and other grains.

Later in the summer, cereal grains can be drilled into the plot to provide additional forage for deer during the fall and winter hunting season.
