I feel your pain on the soil. I am in Maries county but we do have a couple of spots with decent soil, problem is we need all the pasture we can get for the cattle. We did try a couple of plots to see what would happen and we did not have good luck the first year. Hopefuly with another year of treatment we can get something this year.
On another note, how was the hunting this year? I think the rut hit about perfect with rifle season, and now the secondary rut is about over, but we had decent luck. No big bucks to speak of, but we did at least have opportunities to at least see them. I am still trying with the muzzy and I will get out a few times with the bow.
Well, good luck on the plot.
