98chevy Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was just wondering how many plots yall plant on your land and how big is your land? We have alittle under 1000acres some owned and some leased. We have roughly 15 plots. Our smallest is 1 acrea and our largest is 40 acreas. We get a buggie from the co-op for half and then we use hoppers for the rest. Im just intrested in what yall use or how you do yours.

rhine16 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 On my 540 acre farm I plant 3. Smallest about 1 1/2 acres, the biggest 2 1/2. My grandad plants 2 fields for cows, but deer until season is over. Both about 3-4 acres. On 200 acre farm I plant 1.. About an acre. My grandad plants 1 for cows, but deer until season is over. About 3 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 it just varies on the location i work for a ranch part time that is 1600 acres and plants 15 the ranch is only used for deer hunting. but we lease a 13000 acres cattle ranch and it has no food plots due to high cattle population and native prairie these deer are all natural if you would say.

Rhino Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Our club is 2,850 acres. It's hill country so there isn't any crop fields for miles. We plant 44 food plots each year. They vary in size from as small as 1/4 acre to our largest food plot that's about 4 acres. All total we plant about 55 acres so the majority of our plots are less than an acre.

wtnhunt Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Small farm here. We hunt on less than 100 acres total along a river bottom. Biggest plot is an acre or so of hamann farms grower blend. Have about 3/4 acre planted in eagle seeds soybeans, and a couple mini plots that are about 1/4 acre. Think all together 5 plots.

toddyboman Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Then we have 7 food plots. All from 1/4 to 1 acre in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 7000 acre ranch. One wheat field is 200 acres, another is 250 acres, another is 100 acres and the smallest is 35 acres. We've got a bunch of new wind turbines going in this year and the construction crews have bulldozed several miles of right of ways for the underground power lines. We just went in with the grain drill and sowed about 2 miles of these new "Senderos." I'd estimate that we planted another 50 - 75 acres of the "long fields."

Ohiobucks Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Tominator and I put in 3 small plots (maybe 1-1/2 acres total between the three) on one place we hunt, which is 212 acres of woods. There are crop fields on 2 sides of this property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
