Well I have not been on the site for a little while
As I am getting 3-4 Migraines a week and they are kicking my butt
But yesterday I put in 3 of the 4 my planned food plots for the deer are in
I was able to get 6 - 5 gallon buckets of wheat and 2/3 of a bag of short season beans from my brother for free
The farmer I am putting 3 of the food plots on his land sold me clover seed he had left over at about 1/2 price or less
As he dosn't like to use old seed
I used a freinds disk I could pull with my ATV to break up the ground
I put the seed on with my hands by throwing it around .....not the best way
But it works
I then use a 8' section of chain link fence , with a 4" log on it for weight
To smooth the areas and cover the seed
The wheat IMO should be a good green food till it snows , the beans and clover should grow well till the frost kills them
The last food plot I hope to put in
Is on Dad's farm
But where I want to put it
Is in the edge of the woods
With a corn feild on all 4 sides of the woods
I sprayed the area to kill the weeds last week
Most of the grass and weeds are dead and starting to turn brown
In a week or 2 , I will try and burn off the dead and plant
Not going to be as easy
But I will give it a try
