Was everybody else as dry as it was here in Franklin Co.?
Luck was on our side this week. We just finished getting the food plots out on Tuesday and the rains came on Thursday.
Must be all that clean living.

Glad things are working out for you landguy. I bought my seed a couple weeks ago and everytime I get a chance to work up my plots it rains. Now I have to wait again for the ground to dry out enough to disc after this drenchin. This is going to be my first attempt at a food plot. I have about 2 acers of bottom land, 1/2 acer of cleared hillside, and about an acer of old ridgetop pasture to work with. The bottom land and hillside are both bare ground that I plan on disking up and sewing in a mixture of winter wheat, red, white, and ladino clover and alfalfa. I think I will just disc the old pasture land up and sew back over it with some clover mix and wheat also. I have zero expirence doing this so if anybody could help I would appricate it. I know that I should have limed and fertalized the ground first but I am going to have to wait till spring to do that because of the fundage if you know what I mean. :)

I wouldn't throw alfalfa in the mix. It needs to be cut sooner and more often than your clover. If it is not it will become what we call "stemmy". At that point your alfalfa would be useless. It is also the first to brown up in the fall. Good luck.
