Sounds like every buddy has the same thing on their mind
When my sugar beets come I will plant a 1/4 Acre with some soy Beens mixed in then wait 4 weeks and plant the other 1/4

A farmer around here planted some sugar beets last year and couldn't keep the deer out we will see what happens

awesome looking plots delbert I am assuming you don't use plot mix but buy seeds from a farm & feed store?
I am thinking of ordering seeds next year online looks cheaper then buying plot mixes

Thanks guys
I did buy the seeds at a seed plant , the beens are a round up ready grazing been last year they got 6ft tall, they are up to my belly buton so far this year.

My clover is the whitetail clover mix

I planted a mix last week ,winter bulbs & sugar beets but when i read the bag its only 4% beets :crybaby:

So i ordered 5lb of sugar beets off ebay good for a 1/2 acre, i will mix in some soybeens to give the deer some tenders to eat till frost

The new ground i have worked up will be a mixed blend its a 1/3rd of a acre

We got rain yesterday here in Ohio. Looks like like food plots in PA will have to wait till next spring, no equipment available. I was hyped up to put my first fall plot in. I think I will still go help with the propane line work and put out some mineral sites. I still get a small get away but not a high productive one.

HM, get a bag of throw N grow. use a garden rake to clean and scratch an area up spread seed rake again and done. better than nothing and just mite stop that big one long enough to let some air out of him

delbert I was in the same boat here but last few days we were in the hish 70's-80's thunder storms ever night so the plot got a good soaking was nervous as one storm dumped 3" in an hout but the Plot held up great & is now growing fast have rain showers all weekend & into next week
I planted anouther yesterday don't have much hope for it but will see what happens

I did get the propane line ran. 200' through shale rock and tree roots. Lucky there were three of us. The food plots had a small amount of clover still in them so they will wait till next late spring to redo. We did put out 4 mineral sites. Saw a few fresh bear tracks and many deer runs.
