    Since you both use it, just curious what is the guaranteed analysis of ingredients state is the min/max salt in the Lucky Buck...I like to keep a list of this as I am asked quite frequently about comparisons with various products and cannot locate it on their website.

    I made it back up to check the food plot after planting 14 days ago. This being my first ever plot I really am not sure what to expect? Anyhow it is growing but appears to be thin and spotty throughout. The lack of rain in the area does not help but it could be worse, we have gotten a couple of rains but no good soaking rains since the seed had been spread. Anyhow here are a few pics, not the best pics but it kinda shows what is growing....

    It becomes an addiction. I'm only in my second year managing a small plot, and I love it. Hoping to dive into 2 more this spring.

    You got started right with pastorandrew. He got me on the right track last year and saved me a bunch of time with my first brassica and Egyptian Wheat plantings.

    Thanks for the kind words! My hope is people feel the same Joy that I do when they plot! there is something that just gets yeah hooked on it! lol

    Also the plot looks pretty good for very little rain! if you need to you could over seed wheat again when the rains hit!

    Yeah this no rain thing is killing me. We still have not really had any good rains. I have not been able to make it back up to check on it but a buddy of mine checked it Sunday. He said it is looking pretty good but not great. 1" or 2" tall but still fairly spotty. i think that was going to be my plan to put some more WW down, but I see no rain in the forecast for awhile.

    I hope to make it out this weekend to check on it but am not sure if I will or not yet. If I do I will post some more pics.

    I finally made it up to check on the food plot. It is not looking so great, I wish we could get some rain. There is a 50% chance tomorrow so I went ahead and spread more Winter Wheat. Just have to pray for rain now.

    It looks good on the lower side of the food plot, almost as if we got a hard rain and washed all the seed down the hill? I cant recall any "hard" rains though since this was initially planted. Well atleast half of it should look good...?
