    Took a trip to our property this past weekend to do a little work and enjoy this warm weather. Last fall I had planted a mixture of WR, Oats, 4010 Peas, clover and GFR. This was the first food plot on this property that has ever been established.

    Small test plots (total approx. 1/4 acre combined)

    Clover from last falls planting is coming back strong

    Deer trails down to dirt coming in to feed

    Added some fresh mineral to the already established site

    The plan this spring is to plant the remainder of the field in oats and chicory for this spring and summer. Doing this should increase the size of the plot to a little over 1/2 acre. Fall food plots will be striped in clover, winter rye mix and brassicas. Within the next few weeks I will be mowing, spraying, tilling and adding lime and fert after soil sample comes back. Hoping to have oats and chicory planted by late April early May.

    Green - Rye mix
    Blue - Clover
    Orange - Brassica mix (DER, PTT, GFR)
