Spring food plots don’t just happen — they’re planned. 🌱🦌
If you want strong stands and healthy deer this fall, the work starts now. Here are a few things you should be doing before planting season arrives:
🗺️ Planning & Logistics (Do This Now)
• Soil test your plots to dial in pH and nutrient needs
• Map out your plots with bedding areas, access, and wind in mind
• Choose the right seed for your area — clover, alfalfa, brassicas, chufa, and more
• Order lime & fertilizer early (lime should be applied 4–6 weeks ahead of planting)
🚜 Site & Soil Prep (Early Spring)
• Control existing vegetation with herbicide, mowing, or crimping
• Frost seed clover and other perennials if conditions allow
🔧 Equipment Maintenance (Do This Now Too)
• Service your equipment including your spreader, sprayer, and no-till drill
• Fix issues now so you’re not wrenching when it’s time to plant
Good prep = better plots = more daylight deer activity.
