...and no you don't use a tractor. You use your big expensive "quad" or "UTV."
Two guys I know that "tend" food plots have 85 to 100 HP tractors and do several plots. It would be a full time job with a quad or utility vehicle. They use a disk and drill like any farmer would in this area.
As for asking a farmer here in Kansas to hunt, any decent deer habitat is leased and there is no way you will find a place to hunt on unless you are a family member on un-leased ground. One of the guys I know that works plots has a guide service and puts them on leased farms... the other is a hunter himself with family members that hunt the plots.... his actual farm land is leased to another farmer. Most of the plots are small acreages that are not economical to farm with the big equipment most farmers have these days.
I have quit raising a garden due to the deer eating everything. It's not as bad now as a few years ago when a neighbor lady was feeding them all the time. I live on the edge of town and the lots here are 2 to 3 acres, with open fields behind me and a lot of deer habitat. Have counted over 20 deer at a time out the house windows, but usually 2 to 5 is more normal.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
