Ihave about 150 acres in south eastern Kentucky This spring I am wanting to plant food plots I have two fields that are 1 acre a piece and one field about 2 acres and another about 3 acres.I have equipment for my four wheller disk,plow,seed spreader and a pump sprayer.all attach to my four wleeler.I want to attracted and hold more deer and give more nutriton for the deer I would like one of these to be a hunting plot for my kids to hunt over so I could put a shooting house on it.

Would plant a variety. Might try a clover mix in one of them, like the hamann farms trefoil/clover mixes. Would put annuals in the other plots. Peas and beans are good spring/summer annuals.

I guess I was lucky when it came to putting in food plots starting last year. (it gets addicting so becareful, its all I ever think about now ) I had some people that were in the same geographical area that I am who had been putting in food plots for a few years with great success. The first thing that I would do is see if anyone around you has had anything that works.

After a little research I decided to plant Evolved Habitat's Provide, which is a clover chickorey mix on 3/4 of my food plot and the other 1/4 of my plot I put in Evolved Habitats Shot Plot which is a brassica mix for the colder temps. Both worked with a great deal of success and you could plant both of them with the equipment that you have very easily.

You would have both warm weather and cooler weather seasons covered with that.
