I think I was about 14 when i planted my first food plot at my dads 214 acres which he
owns with several of my uncles. I Mowed a 1/8 acre patch with a push mower in a grown up woodland field. Push mower was never the same after that lol. I dragged a homemade harrow around with an atv for i think 8 hours straight! I had to shut the atv down occasionally because it kept getting HOT in the August heat. The plot looked like a ball field enfield when i was done. I remember the exact commercial food plot mix i planted. Biologic green patch plus purchased at wall mart. I seeded, fertilized and dragged just like i had learned by watching drury outdoors. Couldn’t wait to see it grow.
I returned to the farm on Labor Day weekend to check on the plots progress. This was a rare year that we actually had some good August rains. The plot came in sweet. It was already a uniform green from the oats and wheat in the biological mix. I couldn’t have been more happy and proud of my little plot! Labor Day was a holiday that brought many of my cousins and their friends to my dads farm. My older cousin and several of his stoner buddies got wasted and stoned on God knows what that Sat night and proceeded to do about a million donuts in my food plot. I had never been so pissed in my life! Several on my uncles made excuses for the bunch saying “they are from the city. They don’t know any better”. Well it felt like the end of the world at the time but looking back it was a blessing in disguise. Because It was that exact point in my life that i made my mind up. Come hell or high water i would own my own farm some day. And that happend. As many of you know it’s been awesome owning a piece of land to enjoy with my family. An Words cannot describe the feeling of accomplishment i got yesterday when after 4 years and 9 months of owning our 287 acres i drove to the bank and paid off the note. The bank i used is an hours drive from home and i couldnt help but think back on that day i discovered my donut destroyed food plot. Haha
Life is good:)
PS I no longer buy BOB seed lol
