Food plot process begins

[catjuggin]

I made it out today to do some mowing and sprayed the three food plots I grow.
Ill give it a couple of weeks and go disc and seed and lime and fertilizer.
Infinally put out some cameras and sweet feed to see you is hanging around this year.

More to come

Sprayed my second planting of corn. First got flooded out, second crow hammered it when it was spiking, that was a first for me. Beans are getting weedy, they are liberty link and not round up ready, trying to find a small batch of liberty herbicide.

Looking like a good mast year, so maybe it's good my plots suck.

just disked mine up last week. need to test and lime if needed, fertilize. catjuggin why do you seed at the same time as lime and fertilizing?

Early plots around here are prone to being hammered by army worms... Generally try to plant ~1st week in October.

I had those one year. Amazing how quickly they can eat an acre plot. Had to spray Tombstone to kill them.

Lime and Disc about 6-7 strips in the Pine Rows for planting next month.

I used to lime/fert/seed the same day but have learned since that for the best results you should lime about 1 month prior to seeding.

Good question. It’s just a time saver cause my property is an hour away.
From a perspective of what’s best, yes I should lime earlier and let it set in.

youre probably correct on the science behind that. Sometimes I just run out of time

sprayed the beans with glyphosate last night. the weeds got so tall, the beans were sheltered. If I kill them off, oh well. Gonna replant with oats and turnips.
