New fall food plots


Recommended Posts

Up at 5 am loaded the tractor and on my land by 7 am ... muggy morning .20200704_074921.thumb.jpg.7e82e11fdc52b5da9e98f5af186b335a.jpg

 

 

Took the brush hog but didn't use much .. actually wish I left it home this morning . Makes it hard to maneuver  with fel .

This is my kill plot.  It's pretty over grown and not getting much sun . Haven't  planted on it  in5 or 6 years . But there is still some clover

4 hrs of running  fel ... chainsaw  and this was all I could get done ... dry and hot 20200704_092906.thumb.jpg.7a0df6d5dbe5d04bd9d9e34f4e9f5de3.jpg20200704_113844.thumb.jpg.05cb1fcbc0f9e4519854cc001af31bcd.jpg20200704_113853.thumb.jpg.03dcc0423b3e06579254118856db65a2.jpg20200704_113901.thumb.jpg.9f900978d65dc418943bf295cdfde65f.jpg

plant before rain is a biggie also dont be surprised if you get weeds back after planting  spray only gets rid of the weeds that are visible now if this land hasnt been turned regularly it will support a large weed seed bank , thats another plus of brassica blend those plants grow fast and to a certain degree will out grow weeds and block sunlight

Just finished tilling 2  1/2 acre plots for some biologic Maximum.  Trying this for first time seems promising...time will tell. Every thing else planted last week is sprouting coming up.  This is when the bucks grow out and finish and start hitting plots by end of month.  60 days away

lime take months to take effect best bet is lime in spring after soil test one thing that surprised me after getting test done was how little fertilizer it called for was def wasting money before, if your plants start turning off colors give then some fertilizer then

Ok so my plans have changed ... I'm not working the property today . As i sit here watching the smoker I have been thinking about how to pack the seed on my 2 smaller plots . One will be next to impossible to roll. I'm wondering if my tractor with r4 tires will be able to do the job just driving back and forth .  I guess it could be too heavey. Loaded tires .. 2000 lbs total . What do you guys think.

The bigger plot has grass to contend with . I planned on mowing then disk as one spot is 12 inches  tall. Some have said seed then mow ... disk in . Will that blow the seed  and will disk crush the seed .

Not sure what to do .
