Default RE: Food Plots????

Ohiohunter,

You don't have to spend a lot of money on a fancy name brand food plot mix. Just go to you local farm/seed store and get some Ladino clover. You will only need about 3 lbs to do the 1/2 acre. This will provide a food source from green up until freeze, and should last 3+ years if maintained. The main thing is to take a soil sample to your local county extension office and have them test it for a small fee. From there, they will give you recommendations on how much fertilizer and lime you need to get optimum benefit from your planting. Are you planning on doing a traditional till or no-till? Either can work well if done properly.
