So my hunting partner and I have a unique situation. We hunt for free in exchange for helping the landowner meet the wildlife tax exemption. In essence he saves on taxes the equivalent of what we would pay in lease fees. its a win win for both sides considering he is a little older, he saves money and helps us out, we have strong backs, willingness to work hard, and improve his fences, put in gates, clean the property, and keep a good eye on it (physical presence and cameras everywhere).
We mow several times a year and plant about 8 acres of winter/fall plots (oats, cow peas, wheat, turnips, clover, and i think I'm missing something..its justin seed co fall deer mix..
He called me yesterday and said "lets get the tractors out and plant spring plots." so of course I never tell him no and got myself in this project not knowing what will grow.
so enough with the story. I need help. we are located on the grayson/collin county line and have a great mix of dirt considering we are on a river bottom. I have a tractor with a mower and a disc but no seed drill. we usually use a hand spreader and then use a drag behind a four wheeler we built to get the seed int he dirt.
what will grow? I don't have irrigation. just really good dirt that I have never had tested before.
here is what I'm working with. keep in mind i plan to disc it all in the fall and plant my normal kill plots.
