Well, I'm getting ready to take the plunge into some food plots in '08. Unfortunately, I didn't prepare any areas this fall which after reading a ton of threads in this forum would have made life easier I now realize. But, I'm hoping the experts can work me through some ideas for spring plantings. Currently, I am debating the addition of two different types of plots in various areas...clover (hopefully this spring) and then I was thinking I could plant something this spring in the plots that will be prepared for rye come fall. The areas I will be planting are not large fields but rather several smaller strips perhaps in the realm of 40 yds wide by 200 yds long near timber edges. I realize there will be extra work and $$ for herbicides going the spring planting route but I hunt this ground (quite a large tract) with a small handful of friends and we are sharing the expense and effort to make it more manageable and we'd REALLY like to get it off the ground right away if possible. So...with that said, what advice would you give for the best chance of success with these goals in mind? Am I being too optimistic or foolish thinking the spring plan could work??
Thanks,
