Buckhunter14, I am sure you can grow a successful food plot in that location. Haystack is correct, take a soil sample as soon as the soil thaws. You need to get 6-7 inches of depth for a good sample. I would suggest the Michigan State soil lab, they will give you a good soil test for your money. Request a variety of crops for fertilizer and lime recommendations (such as alfalfa, red clover, corn, and oats). We in the north have plenty of time before planting. The plants you can grow will be limited by the soil pH, and the depth to watertable. I doubt alfalfa would grow there, as the soil is probably too wet.If the plot is small enough to mow, and you want to work at it, another option is kura clover (if at least 2 feet of soil is well drained). There are kura plots in WI that have lasted over 12 years, and I have heard of it lasting over 30. It needs to have the weeds cut every month or so the year it is planted, but then it is tough and spreads like quack grass (literally). It sounds like you enjoy gardening, so I think you will find a food plot enjoyable as well. Take your time to get information, put in some time on the plot, and I think you will be pleased with the results.
