I’m in Georgia with Sandy loam on most of my Food Plots. I have about 12 acres that I plant every year not including roads that I could potentially plant.
I plant in the summer a mixture of Alyce clover, vetch lab lab and sorghum, I plant a few acres of straight soybeans.
In fall I plant a mixture of wheat, oats, and annual clovers.
I have a an RTP G3, so I don't have first have knowledge of the M5. I understand it's just lighter and meant for lighter souls, which you have. We've been happy with ours, so I wouldn't hesitate to get one.
I started and help admin this Facebook group. You can likely find some owners there.
