It has indeed helped for us....but it has cost a LOT of money! Like many others, habitat improvement is my passion, so I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have co-owned the property for almost 8 years now...we went from an old, overgrown, barely producing apple orchard to 13 acres of food plots, 125 crabapples, 50 pears, and 75 various oak tree plantings. Along with hinge cutting, and clear cutting small lowland poplar groves. For us, it was planting enough clover, and providing enough natural browse to weather the pressure so that brassicas, turnips, rye grain, and RR Sugur Beets can make it through December. This year, they may not miss a meal until the snow load becomes too deep.
