Like everything else it all depends... I hunt on 17 acres of mostly woods with an old mined out gravel pit in it - surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods and swamps. There used to be a lot of small dairy farms in that area but those are all gone. I doubt there is still an active farm of any sort within 6 or 8 miles of me. Many of the tillable fields have turned or are turning back to forest. Not even much hay is made any more. So I keep three plots going. All three only total about 2 acres and are in open areas where I can get a plow into the ground and there is still some top soil left after the mining. There is plenty of water in a couple of deep sloughs that never go dry. My plots do not sustain the deer population. All they do is give them a few tasty morsels to go along with their usual browse. You should see how heavily they are tramped and grazed as deer pass through from woods to water to cover. In greater Minnesota only about 35% of the hunters bag a deer in any given year and we always used to fit into that number. In the 9 years we have been plotting my hunting buddy and I have just about doubled those odds of us bagging a deer. For us, deer plots work.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
