This is my first time planting a deer food plot. Normally rely on corn but want to get more action during a sit. Spent a few hours yesterday evening and 8 hours on the skid steer and tractor today. It was tough getting to the dirt through the switch grass and Chinese lantern vine. After mowing I used a grappler attachment on the skid steer. Pointed the teeth vertically into the dirt and went backwards. Ripped the grass right up. Then i smoothed it out with a disc behind the tractor and spread out the seed. Went back over it with the disc. Rain is in the forecast over the next couple of days, so hoping the timing is right.

Looks good. I planted that bwi mix last year and it grew well. Today I spread out a bag of the same mix in a standing summer plot, mowed, it and then it rained. Hoping for the same results w/o discing.

I didn't even think about putting out fertilizer when spreading out the seed (then again, I wouldn't have had the energy to do so anyways). So, should I get fertilizer on it as soon as I can or my original thought was to put fertilizer on it when it starts coming up? Also, would a 13-13-13 work or what is best for food plots?
