Okie wants to know what to plant this fall.

QUESTION: What’s the best food plot to plant in Oklahoma?

ANSWER: The answer depends partly on your objective. If you’re looking to plant cool-season (fall/winter plots) hunting plots, crops like wheat, rye and barley are probably your best option as they’re relatively inexpensive, may do better in drier soils and should persist through the cold season depending on local climate.

Top choices for warm-season feeding plots would be forage crops like cowpeas or soybeans. Alfalfa might also be an option in areas that receive sufficient rainfall.
