I wouldn't fuss over the perfect percentage.   Either the even amount stuff, or 6-24-24 is ok.

This year lowes had lawn starter fertilizer on clearance, so I bought that instead.  It was 24-17-7 or something like that.

Also, if doing clover, it initally needs a decent bit of nitrogen. Once established and you bought innoculated clover, then a low nitrogen is fine.

I buy from agway usually.   They mix their own there.  They had 50lbs of 6-24-24 for $14 and 17-17-17 for $12.

what size plot are we talking.  nothing wrong with manure either.....

It's a 1 acre clover plot and around 2 acres of some type of fall plot, still being discussed.

Where do you guys find the proper fertilizer? I cant seem to find anything but lawn fertilizer or 12 -12-12. Need some low nitrogen fertilizer for clover plot and was hoping for some 17-17-17 at least for rest of plots. Tried Tractor supply, Lowe, Home Depot in Buffalo area.Thanks

Im pretty sure its a single beard. They were on camera in that area for 45 minutes, and I didn't get another pic to verify it was a double. Hopefully I will see in person Monday.

[Power Plant success ?]

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for. I will save my money and try something else. 

[Turkey Numbers]

Saw our first turkeys in our woods in WNY this spring, lived here going on 9 years. 

 

[Power Plant success ?]

First year planting food plots and am trying to figure out what to plant. I have 46 acres of land of which I can plant around 3 acres pretty easily to start. I was going to do an acre of clover, friend gave a acre of corn seed to use up even thought they will destroy it I'm sure. For the 3rd acre i was thinking of planting Whitetail Institutes Power Plant for the spring and letting them eat what they can  till I can mow and plant some type of fall/winter crop. Anyone have any luck with Power Plant? Any ideas on what to plant for fall crop or a better spring crop to get most use out of land?

[Spreader type]

Looking for a spreader to put down lime and fertilizer.  Have a tractor and an  atv I can attach to. Any experience which works better, models?

what needs to be done there?

what ya want to plant?  how big

Ive done several plots with a chainsaw, small towable discs like brinley, and a 2wd lawn tractor with agressive tires.

 

Its an old farm, just need to plow up some overgrown fields. Looking at 3-4 acres, 1 clover plot or sure, still deciding on rest of areas. 

[Renting tractor or tiller]

Anyone know anywhere to rent a tractor with a tiller in southern WNY? Friends property has no farms near it to see if we could hire them to do plots.
