Default RE: Plot size

Thanks Dan... First and foremost, do soil samples. You need a pH value of 6.0 - 6.5 for just about anything that is any quality in the forage/foodplot value. Do that now and lime if necessary. Beans, wheat and corn are not available to the deer for antler/lactation period although the wheat is good for the winter months because of the carbs. Do you have any clover or alfalfa fields within a 1/2 mile? How large an area are you intending on planting and what would you say your deer concentration per sq. mile is? What is your buck doe ratio?
