This will be my first year planting a spring food plot, Ive planted winter before nut never on this place, when and what should I plant. Location is east texas near Sam Rayburn, soil is pretty good but does have a bit of clay. I have a tractor and disk, I want to plant 2-3 acres to help draw in more deer and help feed the 6-7 bucks that ate protein all summer last year.

I've had really good luck with Laredo soybeans. Usually plant sometime in April.

This spring I am going to plant about 7-8 acres in the Turner seed Spring Deer Mix and Spring Dove Mix, mixing the seed on 50/50 blend. Will also apply about a ton of fertilizer in a 24-10-10 blend. Will most likely plant April 1st or there about.

White top clover is hard to beat. I normally plant wheat in the fall and top seed with clover. When the wheat dies out from the heat the clover takes over. With moderate heat/moisture , I've had it last all summer. A perennial will sometimes go several years before needing reseeding. Lot's of info on the internet for clover food plots.

Cowpeas or Soybeans when the ground and nighttime temps get warm enough. I planted to early the past two years and cowpeas did not grow very well with cool night temps. I am waiting till last week of April this year to get warmer ground/night temps. Also take advantage of the spring green up so the deer are not hammering my young food plots.
