I'm really liking this food plot thing as this is my first year doing it, and I'm wanting some advice on what to do in the spring/summer next year. I have one small remote ridgetop plot that is maybe 3/4 acre that I would like to plant more often than just the fall. It is poor soul with plenty of rocks, but it does grow my fall plot ok. I do have a tractor but not much in the line of ground equipment anymore, so I'd rather go with just broadcasted seed. I could use a box blade to break the ground up if needed, but no way would I run a drill on such ground. I'm thinking of buckwheat, or frost seeding clover.
I've got a small pasture of around 4-5 acres that I would be willing to do maybe an acre sized strip plot along the edge of the field. Much better soil although still rocky. I'm thinking of spraying that strip and breaking the ground and somehow getting some soybeans to grow, but will I get enough germination without a drill by just dragging it? I do have access to a spike tooth harrow from a friend.
