I thought some of you might see how this winter' s plans have started to shape up into a real planting. In the two pictures - all thats plowed will be corn, we are in the middle of planting it right now.
The " Maze" that you see in the pictures, has been our answer to " what to do with a 15 acre+ square field. The corn offers food, and security for feeding deer in and out of season. This is the most complex mosaic we' ve done yet, but the plan is to rotate the smaller sections of the large field to take best advantage of cover, and stand sites for hunting (like the stand the picture is out of). In the pictures you can see that we' ve left several green field plots in tact. We left Green road ways into each one through the corn, so we can mow, and or maintain the plots (all clover right now).
As this plot system develops I' ll keep you all updated. We have an 8 acre plot we' re " upgrading" this year as well.
