wildthing Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 some good info in the "land management" section of the forum. I have been talking about getting some perennial clovers in the ground. Got the areas tilled up last week and going to seed this weekend and take advantage of the rain.

wtnhunt Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hope to do some planting sometime here this spring/summer. Will be planting a mix with my daughter as part of a 4-h program again this year that is a mix of beans and grains. We will also be planting a plot of eagle seeds rr soybeans if the ground in the bottom here ever dries out enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig mack Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I will plant a fall plot but not a summer. Funds are low this year plus we did one last year and failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, last summer was probably the driest I have ever seen in the time I have lived here. Weird thing was that the spring was probably about normal, spring here this year has started out with a bit above normal rainfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 got some soybeans from soybeanman that I'll be planting as soon as it dries out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Welp, this year we are going to change it up. We planted turnips and clover last year and the deer did everything they could to avoid it. So this year we are going with a clover/chicory/grass mix and are probably going to plant within the next 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest batman Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just some table salt,right now, it really draw them in to dig out a BIG hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Will be planting here sometime. Still doing some research on what I want to plant tho. This will be my first plot I've done on my own so we will see. I have helped some people put them in and what not. I have an idea of what I might plant.

QDMAworks4me Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Last weekend we planted around 5 acres of corn, which was one big plot and a bunch of small ones and we also planted about 4 acres of clover and chicory. This goes a long with the 85 acres that a local farm has planted to alfalfa for their cows. Our deer are a bit spoiled!!! We have also been looking at some other places to plant to clover and corn next year on our 500 acre farm. We have been using every little noock and crany that we can find to drag the deer on us to stay on us!!! Seemed to work great last year! Great season, looking forward to a better one this year.

Rhino Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Started planting summer food plots this week. We're planting alyce clover in our summer food plots down here in Dixie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 We will likely be planting my oldest daughters 4 h plot this weekend. The bottom is still to wet to get the tractor in to work the ground to even think about planting beans yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
