Well, I know I am a little late to the game this year, but going to try anyway. The folks picked up 100 arces near Elkhart last year and we have been working on getting it ready for season. Still not totally there, but hunt-able. Since the leases we were on before didn't lend well to food plots we never really tried, but I want to give it a go.
The place is heavily wooded except for the 8 acres of pasture in the front. So, I got up in the loft of the barn, looked out over the pasture and said, right there should do. Hopped on the tractor and mowed a patch to get a visual. I think this will do for now. Now just need to take soil sample and figure out where to go from here and the best way to go about it.
It's hard to see in the pictures, but I mowed a section between the power pole on the left and the windmill. Should be about an acre and half I would guess, but still need to measure to be sure I get the right amount of ingredients. Still have no idea what I am going to plant, any hints or tips of planting plots in the white sandy East Texas ground would be appreciated.
