Thanks for all the info guys, that helps a lot.
I limed this area in mid winter to get it to where it is now. I have a few hundred pounds of lime leftover, which isn't much, butbetter than nothing I guess.Plus its not a very big area, a 1/4 acre clearing in the middle of the woods.But the leftover lime ispelletized, not powder. Hopefully it will still take effect in time, we'll see.
The whole idea is to get a later season food source on the property, which is the one thing this property is lacking. Early season and the rut are awesome, but when the real cold weeks get here, they move a mile to the cut corn and beans. Deer density is out of control. Trail cam pics show that they had a hard winter, from not enough food Im assuming. The surplus of Ag fields around here still isn't enough for around 45 deer per square mile
(Ohio County, SEIndiana).. Will a turnip plot this size withstand heavy browsing? I really just want to keep them around during late season.What type of brassica produces the most tonnage per acre?
Thanks again..
