Rectangular food plots work better than square IMO. Your going to need to get a soil test 1st and then figure out summer and fall plots. I plant clover and chicory together and soybeans and buckwheat for summer. Then in mid august I work up the buckwheat and i broadcast winter rye,winter wheat,oats,peas,crimson clover and GH Radish in the soybeans and where the buckwheat was for a great fall plot.When the beans are brown they have a smorgasbord of food.I also plant a couple acres of corn but you need the right equip. for that and can be costly and you need to rotate the beans and corn every year to help with the soil. The following spring the wheat and rye will green up and give them another spring food source until you till it up.Good luck..
