RE: Sunlight
If you can get a wooded plot to yield some tonnage you will have a great plot. The deer will feel secure. On my gasline plot I am planting Green Patch Plus which is a mix of oats, winter wheat and brassicas. Even if the plants only get to half of their potential, it still should serve the purpose of a hunting plot. I have heard that turnips do not need a lot of sun, so I am hoping they will take off. The oats and WW I am a little concerned.
I talked to a guy on QDMA forums and he told me I would be ok, just get the seed broadcasted a little earlier since it will take longer for growth. For me to get good sunlight in there I would have to cut back several big oaks and hickories....... that isn't happening.
