I have never done this... so it was a learning experience... I hunt in Columbus at my best friends ranch. He allowed me to fence off some area to plant a food plot to draw in doves. He has a perfectly good tractor ..All I would need would be to buy a plow, disk, spreader etc.
BUT NO ... I have to go out and buy my own tractor, schreeder, disk, rake, spreader, chain harrrow, plow, sod buster, spayer.... Just jumped right in there....
One of the best things I have ever done... I get on it now just to ride around...
Mahrindra 2816 4 wd drive with FEL..... That is Susan on the tractor.... my sweetheart.. She also bow hunts..
This is the ground when I started.... HARD rough CLAY It had been 15 years a least since the ground was worked... it would rattle your teeth just drive across unless you crawled...
I went over it twice with that disk... added weight ... no go..
had to get a sod buster.
the below took a lot of work....
this is the final product.
Planted the first time with the Spring dove mix from Turner seed...
I did not get the seed spread correctly my first time using a spreader... and one area was very thick ... I over planted with sunflower and millette... Hopefully that rain in the last week will allow it to grow..
I will posted pictures my plot when I get out there next...
