Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Cleaning up a old food plot

I want my own!! There are some for rent by many of the districts around here, but most take way more tractor than I'd ever buy. Until then, I'll do lots of Throw, Spray, and Roll.

FWIW, the folks you mention above I work with every day. But, that is great information to share as there are a lot of resources available to folks, they just don't know about them.

Amen, and I too would want my own. Bottom line is when it comes to working on your land (especially for wildlife) always check with your local folks who do this for a living. They know what works in your ao and can help with logistics. Long term no till is best for the soil, and that's what makes the world go round, at least the life on it anyway.

This is true we have 30 acres. 15 is tillable did the hay thing for 7 years wife said to much work. So called USDA office a really nice woman came out we walked the tillable land. Next thing we are in a CRP. Took about 60 days for all paper work. I hired sprayer guy and ordered seed what USDA said to plant. Hired guy to plant. Got paid back for all of it and a check every Oct. So check it out worth the time.

The way people do it here is to take some soil samples to the county agent. Have it analyzed for soil amendments. Roundup heavy to kill everything. Then plant several things that grow well that deer like.
