MIDWEST FOOD PLOTS
Looking at putting in asmall food plot 1/4 acre roughly. What brands / mix of seed are you using and where are you buying it. Looking at what cabela's has to offer and the reviews are pretty good to read.

RE: MIDWEST FOOD PLOTS
Check with you local FS. I purchase all my seed from the FS just down the road from me and I get the seed at more than half off what name brand (Biologic, Tecomate) cost. Most of the FS' will mix whatever seed you want/need and do in the ratio that you want/need it. They can also helpyou decide what to go with by telling you what the other guys are getting mixed. Good luck!!!!!

We did it the way kickin_buck is talking about in WI. I think we had them mix up rye, clover, rape, and turnips. Good price for alot of seed. We planted 5 plots.

I kinda liked the seed that you didn't have to til up the ground alot. How much fert. and lime to use is questionable. Is everyone checking ph levels?

Im using whitetail institute of north america clover/alfafa mix. It sprouts within a few days and seems to be pretty hardy.. good stuff.. I also use a no-till seed mix. I actually rototill the soil then stomp it down with a big board and throw the seed on top. Sounds like a waste of time but it helps the root take hold underneath and become stronger

I have either corn or soybeans going in on the 80 acres that i hunt, depends on the year. This year it should be corn going in since last year it was bean.
My question is do i really need a food plot? I thought about offering a small plot 1/4 acre roughly with something else for them to feed on. What's the opinion out there, do i need a small plot since the 80 acres will have corn planted this year. |
RE: MIDWEST FOOD PLOTS
we like wheat, imperial whitetail, and biologic the most
theres a ton out there that will work great for you though |

RE: MIDWEST FOOD PLOTS
I have the same situation only more acrage, I have some bare ground that is just aiking for a plot. My problem is that when the crops get harvested, they are gone and the field gets tilled under within a week or two. Therefor, no food. So I am, and would say yes it's worth it.
