My farmer didn't plant this year. He was supposed to put soy beans in but I think there was a seed shortage. Anyway, I decided to try making food plots. I think they came out pretty good. They are a little further along now than the pictures show. Out of curiosity, I tried some of the radishes, no plow and chicory and it wasn't bad. I almost went back there with a bowl and some ranch dressing. I have lots of does and fawns chowing down on the stuff. Not many mature bucks yet but I figure, come November, where the Does are, the Bucks will also be. The way to a big Buck goes through a does stomach!

The plot looks really good. Nice work!

Looks better than my yard. Lol
It looks great! I'm planted clover for my first attempt at a clover plot, but put my clover seed down the day before we got 4.5" of rain. It is coming in slowly. Hopefully it will look as good as your plot.

That's a nice looking plot! Once you get a frost or two they will be hammering the radish leaves. What type of implements did you use to get such a professional plot looking field?

I bet the farmer will have you do his fields next year. Looks great.

My neighbor has a 30 horse Kubota with a Land Pride Tiller. He also has a cultipacker, which I pulled on the back of my Honda Pioneer and packed everything down before we put down the Whitetail Institute seed (No-Plow, Radishes, Chicory and Clover). He has a plot that borders my property that he has protected with a wall of Miscantus (see pic). The other picture is the view from my Sniper stand in the back yard and you can see the wall of Miscantus there too. It's about 200 yards to the miscantus and when I can see over it in the rifle season, I've got about 260 to the corner. Nice chip shot with the .25-06. We help each other out doing what we can to create the draw on our property and it's worked quite well. I have crop damage permits too, so lots of opportunities to help young hunters I have on the permit get a doe. I am blessed.
Look good, and nice to see here again.
Likewise!
