I am looking at planting some food plots for wild game this year . Clover, milo, sorgum maybe corn . Buddy has an Oliver 55 I can use . What do I need for each of the above ? Ground has been idle for many years and has grown over in grass as it sits now . Should it be burned off first ? Thanks from a rookie !!! Bryan

The ASCS office will tell you to moldboard plow ground that has been sitting idle to get rid of moles and voles because they aren't the wildlife you tend to want to feed. Land that has set idle will also tend to have low magnesium levels as well as other trace elements. For best results, moldboard plow, disc, broad cast seed with fertilizer and Mg, and then cultipack. If in doubt, check with the ASCS office in your county and they will have the answers tailor made for your area and soil type. It really pays to keep the wild beasties happy and fed.

I think it would be better to take a quak digger to it rather that burn it or maybe spray some round up vegatation killer to it.Burning any ground is always a touch an go job and it can be very costly if it gets away from you.then after the quak is killed It should be plowed under.Then disked.Then you should get some multie purpose lawn and garden lime and disk that under.If your plots are not that big I would not invest in a grain drill for the clover.A push lawn spreader would work or a coffe can just sling the stuff out evenly.If the plots are big I Would recommend getting a grain drill.then after you seed it just take a drag of some sort an old peice of chain lengh fence would work and go over it once to work the seed in.If you want to plant corn prepare the seed bed the same way but it easiest to plant it in rows.What works best for that is a hand operated corn planter or one behind the tractor.Cause for corn to be most productive it has to be kept free of weeds.If you put it in rows you can till it or culivate it if u get a culivator for the tractor. Need any more help just give me a holler.

Except for the corn, you could drill or broadcast, you'll get better germination if you drill it.

We planted some ground for pheasants a few years ago. I don't remember exactly what we planted (some canola, buckwheat, clover, sunflowers, etc.), but I burned it off first, then disked it a few times, and then we no-tilled it in. It worked pretty well.
