Let's back up a bit SD. What's the 1 acre currently consist of/look like? What is your intended seed(s) variety(s)? How are you going to work up this one acre plot(if you have a tractor to work it up, that'd solve the problem of how to get the lime to the plot)?
No equipment other than a truck and a homemade harrow. I'd like to grow soil builders that happen to be food plot options.
This spring: cowpeas
This fall: winter rye and annual clover
Next spring: soybeans, sorghum, and sunflowers
3rd spring: Oats
3rd fall: Reseed spring oats, brassica, and tillage radish
Repeat.
That's the current idea. I figure with the cowpeas, rye, and annual clover I'd get away with one year of poor soil. From there, I'm hoping to build some residual nitrogen from the cowpeas and soybeans. I'm hoping to boost topsoil, choke weeds, and take up nitrogen with the rye. I'm hoping the clover will continue to add nitrogen for the spring sorghum and sunflowers. Hoping the soybeans will provide nitrogen for the oats in the spring. Hoping the sorghum is a winter food source and helps drive deep roots into the soil. Hoping the sunflowers will protect the soybeans.
Oats are simply a 3rd rotation to break the pest cycle. Hoping the soil is built up enough to support a brassica crop for winter forage. Hoping the tillage radish can do some subsoiling to enable deeper rooting and nutrient transfer in future crops.
