I might reloactae some young spruce trees to open up more foodplot area. Dont want to till so close ot them. However, keeping 25 feet away from a row of M111 apple trees, I have about a 1/2 acre total at home. Might get another 1/3 if I move those spruces.

Backyard wasn't all too well planned out. Also growing trees to hide the neighbors house from the backyard from my inlaws house next door.

I have 3 foodplots close to the road at camp. But guys in the club might ride their atv's in the foodplot. There's usually a easy loop along the edge of the plot. One plot is about 15-20 yards from the road. Another is 10 yards away but about 8ft up. The other has a metal gate and the 20 yards towards the gate isn't plotted. Most of the plot is about 6ft down from the gate. So, none of them are too open. I got about 1.5 acres at camp now. Probably have 2.5 by next fall with a new spot and an expansion.

My CO-OP will order anything I ask for, and shipping is either cheap or free since they throw it on the truck with everything else they've already got coming in. But, I do have to buy 50lb bags when I do this. I'm thinking of getting some milo for this summer's plots but haven't done any research yet. How much will you need? Why red instead of white?

Seeding rate is 5-6 lbs an acre. I'm just planting strips, so I only need a couple pounds. I also found it doesn't store as well as corn, so I don't want a bunch extra.
Red gets taller and deer prefer the seeds. White is better for game birds.
