Food Plot's on old loggin road's please advise
I have several places where they made a road to remove pine timber bout 5 years ago. they are roughly 15-20ft wide, and in mid day they see good sun at least 4-5 or a little more. for the past 5 yrs I have been working on them with a back hoe and keeping them moved down and such so basically I have gotten them pretty clear of leftover timber. Next spring I would like to plane these roads (all added up could be 4-5acres of hunting plots. my plan is
#1 disc after this hunting season
#2 Lime the crap out of them
#3 fertalize and redisc and poss. more lime after the last frost or there about.
but my question is what would be the best to plant in such an area. I live in N.E. NC so it's pretty hot humid summer, can be dry or could be wet.
or should I just wait till next fall and do some oats and clover? I am at a loss as to what will work here, give me a field and I'll grow some groceries, but I am getting tired of the countless trips to corn up stands.
