Default New to food plotting---got some ???"s

I have a few questionstha have to do withfood plot prep.

I live in n.w. Missouri and have two seperate, 2 1/2 acre a piece fields that used to be in alfalfa, sitting in the middle of a couple ofhundred acres of timber. The other projected plant site is just a "3 corner" patchnext to the alfalfa fields across a fence, and has never been worked or planted in anything.

Now, the two alfalfa fields haven't been reseeded or reworked in over 7 to 8 years, and are basically overgrown in grasses. Plus, I cannot plant theentire two fields in food plots, just the edges all the way around them about a disk width or two wide(appx. 24' wide). This is the reason why I want to plant the "3 corner" patch in a food plot also.

Budget is extremely limited for this. Any comments?


Also, I have read on several posts that guys recommend using "RoundUp" to first control the grasses. O.K., but when I have gone to the local farmers supply store,I see several different types of RoundUp on the shelves. I need to know specifically what type to use and how. I have access toall the equipment that I should need for planting plots, so that part is not a problem. But fertilizing, liming the soil, ect. kind of need to be cut out if possible due to the money issue.

Thanks for the responses,I need all the infohelp I can get.
