Put in a small food plot today.

Disked it up last weekend, and went today to plant it. Had some issues that I've posted in the general forum, but I'm really anxious to see how it comes up.

For Y'all that havent planted a food plot and think you have to have mega equipment to do so, its not true.

this is a 1/2 acre plot. The pipeline company came across it last year and the ground was still torn up. I took the trike with a springtooth bought at a farm auction for $5 to smooth and break up the topsoil.
Used a craftsman fertilizer spreader to put on soy beans, forage wheat, and turnips.
Went back over it with the springtooth to lightly cover it up, and finally went over it with the trike by itself to get good soil/seed contact.
Should see some results in a week or two

My thoughts exactly
Can't see the river in the other pic, but its where all the deer cross from the other side to come and feed. No farming on the other side.
If you look closely, on the second pic, right side, you'll see the stand where I took my bearded hen with archery last fall.

Its a 3 point disc that I converted to a trailer hitch so it can be pulled with my pickup. Picked it up for $250 at another auction. Put some wheels on it that are raised and lowered with a boat winch and steel cable to pull down the road.
Thats the rig used to get into small areas, that I can't get my farm equipment into.

I found some of it at the COOP in Newkirk, and also picked up some at Stillwater milling in Stillwater.
