I'll add this, just in case you care
best deer hunter food plot tools IMO
and these are for guys that are doing 1+ acres of food plots
if your doing over 10 acres, the list can change, but don't think most DEER hunters are doing over 10 acres or few are)

#1 a tractor
#2 a sprayer
#3 a disk
#4 a fertilizer spreader
#5 a cultipacker
# 6 a chain saw
#7 mower
other things I will say are good to have will be patience, and a basic understanding of how things grow
remember its better to do one small plot RIGHT< than to to do a big one half azz'd
don't skip the soil test, its the best money you can spend in the food plot world, or at least when starting a NEW plot in a new site!
its real easy to get caught up in things and end up doing something the hard way, due to wearing blinders and missing easier ways

its NOT rocket science to make a food plot either, but there are better ways and harder ways too!
being CHEAP, seldom gets the results one wants too! a so so take can quickly get over run with weeds and be a lot of time and money down the drain!
as if conditions are not right for your desired seed to thrive, other lesser unwanted things will take over!
so again, some times doing ONE Plot right, is way better way to spend $$ than trying to do more cheaply!

another thing is having the know how to search your area for HELP, be it in finding bulk spread lime, having a local farmer maybe bring in equipment you DON"T have, or want to spend the money on, due to how seldom you will use it!, so knowing WHEN to ask/look for help can save you a LOT of money and frustration and TIME!
