My plot is on its way!
 
I limed/fertilized about 5-6 acres to plant this spring. It was all ready. Last week I planted about 4 acres of clover and 2 acres of some seed blends that I was trying.

I also disced and planted oats in about 5 other acres. Those plots looked great, but I didn't have the time to raise the pH enough on them.

BTW...my liming and fertilizing worked to a tee. The pH was up considerably (6.8) and the potassium content was back where it should be.

Tons of hard work, but hopefully it'll pay off.

Sounds like you are set for now. Just pray for a little rain and you'll have it made :) Dont forget to post pics once it takes off!

RE: My plot is on its way!
 
This is the first year that I will try putting in a food/feeding plot and a couple of hunting plots. I live in NE pa, and have gotten the results from a soil test done at Mossyoak biologic labs. The ph is 5.3 Phosphorous(P) and Magnessium(Mg) are optimal, but Potassium (K) is low and Calcium(Ca) is medium. Orginally I planned on putting in Biologics premium perenial this spring, but not sure how well it will do based on the soil test. Any thoughts?
