Guest Yark Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 since we've decided to produce a few shows about land management and food plots, we're wondering what you would like to see? They should be really educational and informative and will really help out a lot of hunters throughout the midwest. Can't wait to hear from ya.

PotashRLS Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do it yourselfer food plotting would be a hot topic. Who wants to see the pros with endless $ and equipment. I have two buddies in wheelchairs that I help all spring and summer long doing foodplots. We are as average as it gets and have a lot of fun doing it. We have great results as long as we get some rain during the summer. I think folks would enjoy shows that are entertaining and informative like you said.

LETMGROW Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 There is some food for thought. I have a lot of equipment but others don't. You need to show basic and economical ways to get the job done as well as showing big equipment operation. Simple things like how to calibrate a sprayer or better yet how to effectively use a hand held sprayer to get the max potential from it. How to set a hand or over the shoulder seed broadcaster to get good even coverage. How to make drag harrows from used page wire fencing. Did you know you can drag these around a field with your family car? Get basic and advanced. I'll bet there are more potential basic planters out there than advanced. Simple ideas like using 19-19-19 fertilizer and stretching it out a bit instead of 13-13-13 and still getting effective coverage. These might go a long way to keep interest in what you are doing. Then you can throw in some segments on the newest and greatest equipment out there. Cover both ends of the spectrum. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also hit on why you plant what you plant and how and when those plants are attractive to deer and other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yark Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 couldnt agree more with what you guys are saying. i had a problem myself with low food availability around my land so this off-season is going to be important in attracting and keeping a lot more deer on the property. there's a few spots surrounded by hardwoods that i'll be putting in something. should be a very informative show though.
