Brassica Food Plot Prep is the 3rd video in the 2017 Food Plot Series.  This video outlines food plot preparation tips including how to fertilize for brassica plantings.

The fertilizer recommendation is a no soil test fertilizer rate that will get your brassica plot off to a great start for this late season planting.  

Fertilizing and lime rate:
Pelletized lime:  400lbs / acre
Triple 19 (19 N, 19 K, 19 P):  200lbs / acre
Urea (46N, 0 K, 0 P):  150lbs / acre

If your soil does not run acidic, you may not need the lime.  My soil is a sandy loam and has a pH that runs in the high 5s to low 6s without adding the lime.
