30-ACRE SUCCESS

■ The past four seasons, I’ve created a food source using Whitetail Institute products, and it continues to produce results. I started with clover in Spring 2019 to establish a spring and summer food source. In August of that year, I used my 8-foot disc to create miniature rows in the clover. I did not turn or destroy the clover on purpose, because it was a great early-season attractant, and it also helped provide the right amount of cover for the blend of fall seeds to germinate. The micro rows created by the discs allow the seed to wash into a line while making good seedto-soil contact. I mixed a combination of Beets and Greens, Tall a hand spreader, I applied it to the clover plot. This food plot is 1 acre and rests on a 30-acre property I hunt. I have repeated this process every fall for the past several years. The rye seeds out in spring, and I mow it during late summer. The clover always has adequate moisture and shade because of the mulching rye layer.

The number of deer and turkeys that have made this plot a core area has been awesome. I have had some unreal hunts — all on a very small property.
