Getting a good food plot depends on a soil sample! You can plant anything you want, but if the soil is wrong nothing will grow. I learned this the hard way, and now I won't do anything without a soil sample. These are about 10 dollars, and you take some dirt from three different spots on the same food plot to get an average...

If you want to see how hard the deer and other animals are hitting it. Put up a piece of 4 foot high fence in a five foot circle dead center of the food plot. This will let you see how hard its getting hit!

I have four food plots which are an acre each, this year I have two in soybeans and one in corn and one ladino clover... Next year, two corn and one soybeans and one clover...

Good luck, it will be worth your efforts...
