thanks everyone. Just got the plots planted. ended up planting about 3 acres. made the plot bigger than i originally planned. i planted a variety including oats, rapeseed, turnips, and chicory. I wanted to plant alfalfa but the 3 or 4 places i went to didn't have any. we'll see what grows...

when it was all said and done i put 20 hours on the tractor and countless more on foot. Those dang deer better appreciate it.
