We soil test our plots, then lime and fertilize to the requirements. The last week of March we disk it pretty hard drag, seed it with a 2-1 ladino clover chicory mix at about 6lbs per acre, and drag it again. We mow it twice during the summer, if we get enough rain. Then, during the last week of Aug. we lightly disk the plots again, and over seed with oats and brassicas at 40lbs. per acre for the oats, and 10lbs. per acre for the brassicas, we usually refertilize the plots at this time, also. We have 10 plots that range in size from 1/3 acre to 3/4 acre. Using this method gives the deer on our land a year round food source and fall attraction for hunting.
