Here's some pics of my food plots so far this year. Clover plot. Was cut the previous week to about 5-6 inches. It's really growing. Couple different winter rye plots. To be tilled under later this summer before replanting in something else. This is a new plot as I had rented it out the previous 4 years. It was planted a bit late so I tilled it just before planting to knock down the weeds a bit. It is planted in soybeans with a 12 foot wide border of sunflowers around the outer border. During tilling After tilling Planting Done! just in time for the rain.
I have not ever sprayed anything on the clover. I am trying the mow and fertilize tactic trying to get the clover to out grow the weeds.
Here's an update on a couple of my plots. I went out Saturday morning and bought all the seed and fertilizer I will need for my fall plots. I picked up this broadcast spreader a couple of weeks ago so I mowed my clover and spread some 0-0-60 on it today. Here's how my soybeans look a week after spraying round up. This pic was taken the same night that I sprayed the beans.
Thanks for the replies. So far we're having a great growing season and I'm getting excited about the up coming bow season.
