Default hidden willow plot

i am going to start making food plots this year in kansas. i am using the river to get access to areas not previously hunted on public land. i know the land is already great for planting plots, being that it is old river bottom with dark rich soil and most of it is planted for crops. i will start clearing willows and paths next week. i have some blends containing brassilas, turnips, chickory, alfalfa, carrots, along with some others. there is no way to bring in lime or any heavy equipment. would it be alright if i just asked a local co-op what kind of fertilizer they would recommend, and can i get by without a soil sample? last year i planted close to this spot, and the brassilas grew fast and tall without any fertilizer, though it was flooded out due to some unusually high summer flooding. also if there are any tips for my my situation i would love to hear all of them.
