Default RE: food plot help

You need to decide wether you want an annual or perennial. If you prefer a annual I would plant a variety. I have 5 plots on my place, two are perennial and the other three are annuals. Buck forage oats and winter rye with someturnips and rape mixed inmake good annualplots for me. I suggest google the seed companys or check out your local co-ops to see what they have, they can tell you what is good for your area. Before planting ALWAYS get a soil test done, these are free at your local county extension office. Are there any row crops around your area? If not and your area is big enough you might consider some soy beans. Remember it take quite a bit of ground for beans or the deer will eat them as fast as they come up.
Good luck
Greg
