Spring food plot, when to plant ?

[jb5001]

Sorry for the slow response. I mow about 7 to 10 days prior to discing and I plant with a broadcaster. I plant 50 lbs per acre and come right over that with 13-13-13 at 100 lbs. per acre and then lightly disc or drag. I try to plant right before a rain and pray the hogs don’t find the seed before it sprouts. I plant oats and rye in the fall but I wait till it’s up a couple of inches and then fertilize.

When you say you mow it, what is there to mow to start? Do you disc it right to clean dirt?
We have an area of existing hay pasture that we want to plant food plots and I'm curious on the best way to do this. Right now the grass is a few feet tall.

I would guess you need to spray the grass and kill it.

Then no till drill seeds in

Then you could mow dead grass to be your thatch and help retain moisture

I could be wrong

I’ll be getting My dads garden tilled up the next couple weeks and was going to till a couple acres for food plot. When do you plant the spring?

When the ground gets about 68degrees
