Default RE: advice for a foood plot

ORIGINAL: The Rifleman

It's a shame that people want to hunt, but they don't want to hunt to get.

How easy do you want to make it?

Planting a food plot is a lot of hard work and costs lot's of money. LOT'S!

Just for one acre of Food plot in Pennsylvania, we spent $2000.00

It was already a cleared field, but it only had about 2 - 3 inches of top soil and was really rocky underneath that.

By the time you buy your lime and your fertelizer and pay a man with a tractor to plow, till, disc, harrow and run his grain drill over the place to plant whitetail clover - you could have went to thebutcher shopand bought several100 lbs of the best beef stakes.

Even good land might cost you $1000 an acre to plant.
I think someone saw you coming

The highest cost per acre I ever personally know of was $400/acre for ladino clover and the guy guaranteed a good plot or he'd replant for free.

Yes there are some pricey seeds out there but it's not necessary to spend that kind of money.
