Wanted to ask a general question for some objective discussion.
Here’s the the hypothetical scenario with a buddy buying some ground in a big woods area. No ag, food plots or the likes around..just some random mast bearing trees on the hill tops, and random browse portions of the low ground. He opened a clearing, did the lazy spread a few bags of lime and 10-10-10, then threw some random BOB seed mix down. It grew with so-so success and deer started to arrive and browse it. He has no interest with soil testing, amending or improving the soil proclaiming he has found success with his planted kill plot and the “health benefits” it provides to the herd are negligible.
Whether of your own time derived opinion or capturing the recent focus on soil improvements including regenerative and no-till practices, how would you respond in conversation when he states there is no need a test or improvements?
