[QUOTE="bls8433, post: 2490654, member: 43959"] I am putting in my first food plot this year(about 3 acres). I grew up on a farm and have access to a tractor but won't be using any typical farm equipment. I will be using no-till methods. This 3 acres has some CRP, woods and cropland surrounding it. I would suggest spending some time investigating all the informative YouTube video's. There is a wealth of information by individuals who have proven what works. Farm practices are not well scalable down to a food plot. Churning the soil is not always best for the soil either. A lot of individuals building food plots use Whitail Habitat Solutions methods. Jeff Sturgis has a long track record of results. If you are in farming area, you don't need to provide food during the summer, it is a waste of resources. Concentrate on the Fall when you want to pull in the bucks. I would suggest gaining information from those who have been doing this and coming up with a plan for your plot. Many food plots fail until a good plan is established. Then determine what equipment you will need. I am using a hand seeder, backpack sprayer and a small cultipacker for ATV to put in and maintain my plot. I have fun running my 1958 Oliver tractor but it won't be used here. My two Cents. [/QUOTE]
