Title: Food plot help
Post by: Prohunter270 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!

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

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.
