Hello Eveyone.
I normaly post on the Hunting& Religion forum. We have a thread there where folks tell about themselves " A Face to go with that name". You can take a gander at it to see who I am.

I live in central Arkansas. I own 40 acres, 30 acres mostly pine plantation with a few hardwoods mixed in and 10 acres mostly hardwood with a few pines mixed in.

The pine plantation is about 18 years old. I had them thinned for the first time. I did that 2 years ago. When I had the pines thinned I had them make the logging set a little larger than we normaly find in this part of the woods.
The logging set was made about 40 yards wide on one end and about 60 yards wide on the other, the set was made about 80 yards long.
Down here when they cut young timber like mine they use equipment that strips the smaller limbs from the trunk and then the trunk is cut to length, this process leaves a top.
The tops and limbs are piled. The pile when they were done wound up about 40 yards long and about 20 yards wide. I have spent this summer burning the tops.
I have burned them and Iam in the process of spreading the ashes on the set.
I have tilled up about 2/3s of the set to a depth of about 5 inchs. The remaining 1/3 has to many stumps to till. I will give them one more year to rot then I will till it as well next year.
My property is hilly, rolling hills. My house is at about elevlation 400 and the bottom of the hills is about 320 or so.
At about 2/3s down the hill from where I built my house is where my driveway turns. I have left most of the trees on the property so most of it is shady. In the curve of the drivewayI have planted centipede<sp>, I also planted it around the clearing for the house.
I am regulary seeing8 deer in the curve of the driveway grazing on the centipede grass, two 8 points(both nice ones), one 6 point, one forked horn, two spikes and a doe and button buck.
I am making a food plot out of the logging set. I want the food plot to service turkeys as well as deer.
I will post Tuesday night concerning the PH of the soil.
I am looking for some help and advice on what to plant and what fertilizer to use.

The folks down here that I talk to that do food plots have had the best results with feed oats, I am intending to plant them. The snow peas are not of much intrest to the deer till after December mostly. The turnip greens do some good, but not the turnips themselves. Mustard greens also work well but not until very late in the season.
Right now my intentions are to plant mainly feed oats, but I am very un-decided as to what to plant with them.
I have been advised to be ready to put 100 to 150 pounds of lime on the plot, I think this is a good idea.

If I have left out any important information please let me know.

Any ideas about what I should plant?
How much liming?
What kind and how much fertilizer?

Thanks for any helpfull advice.

Mr-Pirk
