Lomax’s Plots 2021

[Lomax]

Getting decent plot growth with the abundance of rain…now that we’ve had a few dry days seems to help in early plot conditioning for the wildlife

I planted Biologic radishes biologic winter greens biologic winter peas biologic final forage and antler king honey hole and channel soybeans.  
 

I mowed in June and July and then sprayed And fertilized and then tilled and then planted around July 25 I do it around the date every year  and get pretty good results only one year was so so  

Also the whole outer edge of my field has about a 4 1/2 foot reign of thick clover and Rye.

Are you seeding barefoot?  That’s the Amish way.

As I recall it was a warm day and I might’ve had a few ruby reds kolsch for seed spreader lube…yeah that’s my excuse.

Wow, I'm just starting to learn about food plots. Yours is something I can only hope to do in the future. Nice job.

It’s my 7th year or so doing them so still trying different things.  The winter peas are a first time planting this year so we will see how they do.  
When I got started I just watched some YouTube videos and the big mower and tiller Made it possible along with the tow behind sprayer and tow behind spreader.  But luckily I am blessed with really good soil I live in the lake Plains region so it’s a mix of Sandy loam and clay and used to be an old very firm so I think there’s some natural fertilizer.  Right now the hickory trees and apples are in play but it’s nice to see them in the plots early getting conditioned

[Lomax]

Greening up nicely.

Plots and wildlife enjoying the nice weather we have had recently.

I tried but it didn’t come in good some of the beans did but they got devoured earlier in the summer.   Mowed a 30 yd strip down the field a couple weeks ago and it’s already started to green up in spots should be a nice shooting sendaro

You got it more than covered anyway with those Ireland green plots.  

[Lomax]

Plots are ready for the opener.   Bumper crop of fall Turkey flocks here as I have bumper crop of hickory beech apples and pears.  Some larger flocks now and growing.  

[Lomax]

Plots are liking the rain and weather we have been experiencing.  

[Lomax]

Plots are drawing in more as it begins to cool down finally.  By mid to late Nov early Dec they should be prime by  then.
