[QUOTE="NChunt1, post: 5574323, member: 20648"] Was thinking of possibly adding in some warm season plots into the program this year. We always plant about a 6 acre soybean field every year and it usually does pretty good but the property is to big for that to be the only summer time crop available throughout the summer. Also all the other plot locations are to small for soybeans or some of them would also be planted in beans. I'm thinking I will drill in a warm season verity into our fall plots from last year. Then around September killing the summer plot and drill our fall seed back into it for a type of a rotation. I guess my questions are would this be worth the trouble or should I just let my fall plots that are in WW, oats, crimson clover, red clover with some arrowleaf clover mixed in just grow fallow or keep them mowed until around the end of August then mow and kill them replant the same blend. Or would some type of summer food like deer vetch or iron clay cowpeas be a much better option to keep in the plots through out the summer months until its time to plant the fall plots? I'm new to planting warm season plots other than soybeans but I would like the deer to have good food on the property year round so what would you guys recommend for a year round plot program?
