Hi-wall, Thanks I will try the Marshall variety.
Greg, Does wheat and Oats require a soil PH. of 6.5 or above? And yes I have thought about the disadvantages of planting the logging roads, But unfortunately we dont have very many open area' s and the only clearings that would be suitable for bowhunting over have bad soil, but at present the deer are feeding anyhwere they please anyway and our property is no better or worse than the 6 thousand acres that surround us, infact before light and after dark we see just as many deer leaving and crossing the dirt road that surrounds our property as we do crossing the dirt road and comming on our property, some times one night we will see a buck leaving our property and the next night he will be comming on property, what we are trying to do is plant as much food near the middle of our property as possible to keep as many bucks on our property as we can, ( or atleast spend the majority of their time on our property) if we dont plant the logging roads we can maybe plant 35 acres if we do utilize the logging roads we atleast double that and though it may be harder to pattern the deer by planting logging roads, 70 acres will provide alot more food than 35 acres, and we still will be able to pattern the deer alot better then we were able to last year because we will know wich direction they will be heading once they leave their beds, where as last year they could go in any direction because there wasnt any better or worse food in the direction they chose to travel that particular day.
