I'm going to go back to using oats in my mix next year mixed with the cereal rye. I was reading some other threads the other day and it reminded me why Lickcreek recommended adding oats. Cereal rye is slow to establish. Oats jump up and establish quicker so you have something for the deer to graze while the rye gets going. Oats also seem to be the most preferred cereal grain according to side by side tests I did a few years ago with wheat, rye, and oats.



Yeah, in normal years, I'll put up pie plates and wind chimes to keep the deer out of the fields until the week of bow season. It was funny watching them pick around the turnips and rashes eating the oats. This year I didn't put anything up and the deer hammered them early. That was my fault. slap
