Food Plots Fall seed mixes

[BSK]

I'm going to start my planting process in the next week or so. Mow, then wait a week, spray, then wait a week, then start ground prep. Hope to start planting around Aug. 20, rain permitting.

I have mowed and sprayed it during the 3 weeks I was there in July. By the time September rolls around there should be minimal weeds in the plots. Make for easy tilling.
I would like to incorporate several lbs of winter peas in the plots. We have a pretty good deer density and with the plots only being around 1 acre a piece they may wipe them out within the first 2-4 weeks.

Turned my seed order in today for next month. Probably won't plant until Sept whenever weather is right. Big year for us planting. Lots of clover at end of life cycle & several new plots that we pushed out logging decks last year. Had 120T lime spread last year and did soil tests in March. All our old plots are in great shape ranging from 6.2-7.1. A lot of new ones are mid to high 5's, with one being a 4.9! Brought nearly 3 tons of pelletized lime up today to help them out.

Low PH seed order:
25 bags of cereal rye & 300# of Crimson & Rape blended together.

Good PH seed order:
25 bags of grain mix wheat, oats, rye & crimson.Just their standard low cost mix. 250# blend of Durana, Advantage Landino, Yucci Arrowleaf, Fixation Balansa & Brassicas

That's awesome!

One of our new fields last year was 4.8ph . But we amended it enough to where there were deer in the field every night.

I really want to get down to AL and get some of that seed mixture.

I would love to start with a pH of 4.8. My plots, when they're newly bulldozed out, start at 4.3! In theory, that's acidic enough to melt your shoes!

That's nuts! That new field I believe called for 12 tons of lime. It's about 3 acres.

Clemmonds & Hamner are only 30 minutes south of Lawrenceburg about 2 miles off 43. That's just something they are doing for me but sure I could get the order bumped up.
