RE: food plot question???
Criggster is right...it will be a guess.
However, you are in Minnesota and our soils for the most part are pretty forgiving. Take the soil test if you want to make sure...or just plant and see what happens. If you see your plants stunted, yellow and pale...then you were low in P and K...or maybe even some others.
What county in MN are you in? If you are in the north or north central...then you better get a soil test. If you are in the central and south...you are probably pretty safe.

The lime is a good idea... but do not put the lime and fertilizer on at the same time....Lime in fall, fertilize in spring.
As to how much and what type... I don't know your soils up there but down here in S. IL I generaly advise 300lbs/acre 13-13-13 as a base. We are in a silt loam type with heavy clay pan. The best thing to do is get a test done and react according to the findings
