Plowing Pics

Just finished plowing a food plot in preperation for sewing oats soon. Brush piles for rabbits and turkeys are on each side and end. TO-30 pulled the 2 bottom without a lick of trouble. The ground is quite light though. Found several tree roots but no frost. Skips are because I had to avoid stumps.

Very nice, some familiar things in the photos, skips due to stumps, piles for wildlife, I do about the same thing here in the fields that have been left to overgrow. One thing is for sure, the habitat will certainly increase the wildlife, as I have noticed since the days of the same fields in corn. I know the small stumps without a trip back or even shear protected plow, would literally stop my tractor, have to go slow when in ground like that, never broke anything when using that old AO ferguson plow, just stopped the tractor.

The oats seem to work well here either after a harvest and suitable weather for regrowth, or replanting at that time, I've even plowed and disc'd strips, between what the combine dropped and or whats rooted, it came up as if I planted it and shortly looked as if someone cut the grasses, deer kept it trimmed off evenly. The oat grass seems to last from mid to late summer to the end of the hunting season, they just constantly feed off of it.

Are you planting BFO or something similar?

What is BFO?

Right. Nothing increases wildlife like habitat work. I just started beagle trialing. My 11-month-old pup came in 12th out of 56 open (not champions) dogs. I'm working with a friends pup and another friend wants me to work with his two pups. That will pay for fert and seed.

Best bang for the buck is corn.

Can't believe you plowed today. I hauled manure yesterday and it was froze up tight as a drum. I didn't even leave a track.

GordoSD;

Yup. I have plans for two corn food plots, one cowpeas, one millet, and I planted wheat last fall. All the plots are small, half-acre or less, but scattered.

O.K., listen this is a tractor site not hunters site.At the least you could do is have a picture of your tractor next to your food plot!!!

Well tomorrow you should get upper 30's, maybe break 40. We hit about 42 here today.

Was really nice leaving work today without a sweatshirt under my jacket. First time we broke 40 since last fall.
