'It will soon be time to plant spring food plots! In this video: when to plant for the best food plots success, food plot seed mixes that feed the deer and the soil, how to get deer to express their full genetic potential, how to monitor soil temperature, and more! #foodplots #TeamOutdoors  The first tip to ensure that you have a successful food plot crop is to plant when the soil temperature is within the correct range for your seed.  For example, soybeans have the best germination rate when there’s adequate but not too much soil moisture and the soil temperature is a minimum of 60 degrees.  Soil scientists recommend testing the soil temperature at 9 am as this is usually the coldest time of day at 2” deep in the soil. The soil cools all night and begins to warm once the sun is at an angle that its radiant heat impacts the soil.  One of the best tools to ensure a successful crop is a soil thermometer or checking one of the many soil temperature websites. We use a soil thermometer (usually about $10 at most feed and seed stores) as soil cover, color of soil, soil moisture etc., all can affect the soil temperature substantially from field to field.  If you’re planting food plots soon, don’t count on going by traditional or published planting dates. For the best chance of success plant when the local conditions are appropriate with soil temperature and enough moisture to ensure germination and growth.'
