Sorry, I continue with the rookie questions, but you guys are seriously helping me immensely. Thanks so much. Looking to add some food plot implements to my arsenal. We are not doing huge food plots. 1acre Max as of right now - mainly 1/4acre Kill plots. We do have the potential to possibly...

I think my main confusion (and possibly other novice Plotters confusion) is understanding the standard methods of how/when to plant a new mix on top of a current standing food plot. My biggest fear is putting in a lot of time and effort into a food plot, but planting incorrectly, thus screwing...

I realize this site is based more on Habitat Improvements, but you guys are very knowledgeable so thought I would post this question here. I have been researching different mineral options, and to save some money, I thought I would try to buy locally to avoid the heavy shipping costs. I came...

Zone 6A: All Plots Will be getting this mix, this year, from GRO (Soil Builder) 20% Triticale 20% Oats 20% Buckwheat 20% Peas 10% Crimson Clover 10% Berseem Clover First Time Plot - Current Hayfield - 1 acre: First Time Plot - Small Wet Pasture - 1/8 acre: Limed/Fert last year...

Considering that most weekend QDM warriors do not own large farming equipment, how can I figure out how to accurately plant my seed at the correct depth. I feel as if I put so much work into getting my soil ready, only to bury my seed or not bury it enough. How can the Food Plotter with an ATV...

I am not a mathematician, but a graphic designer, so bare with me. I am being told to use 2 quarts per acre of glyphosate. Obviously, that means the total amount of glysophate to mix into water. So how do we figure out the total mix per acre? Is this correct? 1 acre = 2qts of GLY =...

Latest idea for a plot. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Soil was really hard to dig. This open area seems to really be holding water this year. I tried some lime/fert and GRO Inner Sanctum mix (Oats & Clover) last year on this spot but I did not prep soil well enough (first try ever)...

How long after digging my soil sample before it is no good to send in to test? I am going on about 3 weeks of the soil in my pail. This is all new to me so just took a bit longer to figure out who to send it to. Hoping I did not wait too long. Is there a soil "expiration"? Sent from my iPhone...

Trying to avoid a bare plot at any time of the year. I am just confused about how a Spring Plot is meant to contribute to my goals. Is my goal to set up my Fall plot with what I plant in the Spring? Do I keep what I planted in the Spring in my plot for an entire year? I am trying not to...

Looks like we have a natural spring on our farm, and/or a very wet area. Don't get me wrong, we just had major rain and snow before that in Eastern, PA - but this ground is muddy. We are fairly certain it was an old cow pasture. We had thought it was a perfect spot for plot, considering the...

Ok, I am going to try to delete my other thread. Please see the photos below. This is the Northern half of our farm. Would you plant a food plot where the Pink is located? If so, what? I am asking because the farmer is rotating crops this year, and this entire piece (680yd x 350yds) is going...

I have recently gained access to a 110 acre farm in Pennsylvania, that is separated by a pretty busy/fast road. The huge field to the North of the road with the red dot is 680yds wide x 375 long max. This year the farmer is planting corn, and a strip of alfalfa in that field. The lower field...

I am considering a life membership to the QDMA, but I do not see much information regarding the benefits of this Life membership on their site. I realize I would be donating to the organization, but is there anything else beside a pin and a mug that a life member would then benefit? Are their...

Just got access to 111 acres and looking to keep the deer localized. Do you guys recommend using a few feeders with corn all winter (post season)? If so, any recommendation or experience with any? The Moultrie Pro Elite looked good. We put in a small plot, but obv this will not be enough to...

Just joined the forum, hello everyone! I planted a 1/4 acre kill plot. The deer in my area have not really hit it yet, as of today 12/21.... We have just recently had a few good frosts and snow. It was planted on Sept. 1st. The maturity date says 60-80 days, so it should be ready to go, I...
