Food Plots

[triggertrav]

The weeds took over on of our food plots, so we decided to rework it and put down some winter wheat.  Part of the field is clover/grass, we left that.

The rest of the field has corn on the outside and had a mix of corn/beans in the middle.  The middle is what got away from us.

So i brush hogged the center for digging/planting.

The weeds got pretty tall.

Here is after all cut.

Deer didn't seem to mind the tractor.

We got it all dug and seeded Saturday, now it needs a good drink. 

I never took pics while planting but wish i would have.  Hopefully the wheat grows.

That looks like a nice chunk of land there! I planted a combination 2 weeks ago of mostly winter wheat, winter rye, and oats. I also added in clover in one of the plots, and soy beans in another. My plots are coming in very good, and have been drawing the deer in to them every day. This is my first year in food plots of any size, before they were just small 20x20 foot areas in the woods, maybe a little bigger in some areas. Now I have 3 plots that are between a half acre, and 1 acre, and I also have an old logging road that I have planted some of it. It is almost as fun as hunting itself, and it gives me something to pass the time in between hunting seasons.

Here's the plot after all work was done. 

And the growth already after one week!  Just could use a shot of rain this weekend.

Finished product.   Now we just need to see if the animals like it also.

I am pretty sure the animals are enjoying it. Mine has deer in all times of the day, along with many other critters, and mine isnt nearly as pretty as yours.

Great looking plot.
