Food Plots for Wildlife
How do I plant a food plot for deer?
Soil test, lime to pH 6.5+ if needed, fertilize per recommendations, choose your species (clover for perennial, brassicas for late season, cereal grains for transition), prep soil (till or no-till spray-and-mow), broadcast or drill seed at recommended rate, and roll/cultipack for soil contact. Plant 60-90 days before first fall frost for fall plots.
