I quit summer plots for deer about six or seven years ago. Wheat and clover n the fall and let it go. Clover may slide through until next fall or it may die out in Sept and then I plant again in oct. No fertilizer.
Doves and ducks my summer planting. I have ten acres of sunflowers already in - that arent doing too great. Intend on planting about 50 or so acres for ducks first week of July
