Talked to County Extensions folks today and their suggestion for fall plantings on trails/roads was ryegrass, winter wheat, and ladino clovers. I am looking at that option strongly. Ultimately the trails will probably be taken over by native grasses and weeds, and that is fine. Our club has 50 members (fortunately only about 25 utilize our property, to some degree) and covers just shy of 4000 acres. The trails are scattered through out the acerage. It would be great to utilize these areas as food plots, but the primary usage is for access to areas of the property and we have approx. 40 acres of plots and do supplemental feedings. The trails will get heavy 4-wheeler and foot traffic starting soon. I just want to do what we can to preserve the money spent to ditch and crown the trails as we have many low areas and flooding and standing water becomes a problem in some areas. Just makes sense to help the wildlife with forage in the short term if possible until we achieve the ulimate erosion control goal and we may find that some of the grasses, forbs and legumes may be of long term significance as well.
