I'm looking for some input on a path forward in planting a part of my land in switchgrass vs direct forest seeding. I bought this square 40 last August in central MN. The image below outlines my tentative planting plan for 2022. The field areas are old hay fields that haven't been cut in a few years and are pretty thick with grass and some brush starting to come up. I was planning on planting the Dark blue section (0.9 acre) in switchgrass instead of food plot to concentrate movement towards food a little and provide more cover. The property needs more cover IMO as a lot of the wooded area is pretty mature. I plan to create more cover and get sun to the ground in the woods as well.
This video on direct forest seeding has me reconsidering switchgrass. -
What says the HT crowd?
