Well I bit the bullet and bought a new house..... Nice little 11 acre mini farm. The deer and pheasants are thick on the property already. The back half of the property is a crp field with mowed trails where the prior owner used to walk their mutts. My plan is to take 2-3 acres off the tree line and put a plot in over the next month. We are moving in tomorrow and Monday, so that leaves Tuesday to mow and spray this area before I go back on duty. I've outlined the area in red where the plot will be. The yellow will be a mixture of Sunflower & Sorghum (too late this year), the two 1 acre plots I'm still on the fence with, what are some suggestions? I was going to do a clover mixture with chicory, and one late season with turnip and brassicas. I've also got some red/green dots (5 to be exact) which are apple trees I will be getting in Oct during fall shipment to help supplement the property. This isn't a spot I plan on hunting but more to draw deer in and watch (unless a 150"+ shows up). The blue is a major creek that's about 25 yards wide and always holds water with a THICK creek bottom that runs for miles both directions without a house in sight along it except for one farmer (I'll be working on getting permission from him SOON). Once the condo sells the black box will be the new barn with the driveway extending out to it. The nice thing about this plot is that where the crp starts in the middle of the property is the high point and rolls downhill to the creek so its very secluded back there.
So back to the topic, what are some suggestions on Aug. planting?
