Kinda feel like making a food plot this summer for me and the deer. Done turnips many times. Any other good summer ones like maybe beets. Done daikon radish too. Not sure how much it like summer though. Wouldn't seem like a good one.
I can irrigate to some extent during drought tress if that matters.
Using the rototiller in a section to clean up drainage and to level out some stump holes. This is the home plot. Probably 1/3 acre area. Clay soil. Probably right at 6 pH now, good organic matter. Compaction is and issue. Flooding in real bad situations is short maybe a day vs almost a week before channeling. Most years not an issue at all.
LAnd was an old apple orchards so I got furrowed rows where the tractors squashed things down over the year. I break the rows up here n there to drain to the lowest one, then that goes downhill with a large channel I already made a few years back.
Picked up 300lbs of rye for the fall. Likely go back to that again with some oats and clovers in the fall. See how weedy it get, do some or some more brassicas based on how much nitrogen I need to use up.
