Food plot help
« on: July 12, 2015, 05:36:14 PM »
I have 3,000 acres of dry land wheat fields we no longer farm. I want to put in around 50 acres in a food plot. My question, I live in eastern wa and we don't get much rain, is there a food plot that needs little moisture? Any ideas would be great!

dry land alfalfa
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

the tall time tubers are great. Deer in my plot dig them up till mid dec or so. When the ground freezes too hard

I have my plots irrigated so I can grow the clover( best one in my experience ) really well but in areas I can't water I've grown extreme, no plow, and winter greens. All with just tilling the soil and broad casting the seed then hand raking it in.  Don't skip the soil test it will save a lot of head ache.
