On Saturday May 13 I texted my farmer to see if my food plots were in yet. He was locking my gate after just getting done with the job. I planted about 10 acres of RR soy beans and 5 acres of RR corn for the deer this season. All will be left up for the deer and turkeys to eat. My land is in the Town of Almond, Portage county WI. This area is referred to as the "Central Sands" country. My farmer used a wider no till planter this season, so there are a couple of places on my land that will need trimming so his equipment can get through tree lines on driveways. Two of my fields had greened up pretty good, so they got hit with 41% glyphosate (Buccaneer) on Monday. The rest of the fields are just bare dirt yet, so no need to spray them yet. No till planting is the way to go with food plots, if one can find a farmer in the neighborhood who has the necessary equipment and will bother with small areas of land to plant. 15 acres is nothing to farmers who plant 1,000 acres every season. My farmer leases my best 12 acre field for alfalfa and part of the lease deal is that he plant for me when he is done with all his plantings.
Now like every other person with seed in the ground, I am at the mercy of Mother Nature.
