Staff Food Plot Developing Nicely
Posted by DDH Staff

by Jacob Edson, F&W Media Outdoors editor

This spring, a co-worker and I picked up a new lease for Wisconsin's archery season. The land looks great. It's about 70 percent wooded and 30 percent crop fields.

However, we decided to add a couple of food plots and had the farmer till up a grassy meadow near an already established chicory plot. The total area accounted for about 2 acres, which is a pretty big plot in this part of the state. The area is a little low and somewhat wet, but with good loamy soil.

We had to wait a couple weeks for the soil to dry enough for us to drag the area and then we waited for the weather forecaster to predict rain. That finally came on Friday, so we hustled out and planted an acre of clover mix and another acre in clover, chicory and brassicas. Both mixes were somewhat heavy in ladino clover, which we are hoping will do well in the lowest spots.

For the next three days, the skies opened up and we received a steady dose of precipitation. Now, I can hardly stand the wait! I just want to see how those plots are doing!

Of course, we're not done yet. In a couple months we're going to go back and put in some late-season plots. I can think of one spot in particular that should be perfect for about a 1/2-acre of brassicas. The soil's a little sandy, but brassicas have deep root systems, so they should be a good fit. It's amazing how a little food plot work can get me so excited.

How are your food plots doing this year? Share your successes on the deeranddeerhunting.com forums. Or, come and ask a food plot related question.

Hello. The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young. Help me! Please help find sites for: Credit score agency. I found only this - good credit score scale. The effect a new credit card will have on your credit score is dependent on your credit history. Fast credit repair does not work here, because at this point a number of measures should be considered depending on the severity of your credit score is fallen. THX :confused:, Denver from Venezuela.

Good Day. Keep cool and you command everybody. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Free abc from dish network. I found only this - current dish Network keys. Satellite tv reviews dish network, directv, and sky angel. The viewer can watch hdtv shows by using a hdtv receiver, which is given free by dish network. Thank you very much :o. Minka from Togo.
