What should I plant in a 1/2 acre food plot in southeastern Pennsylvania?
Filed under: Food Plots
• The area of the space where I want to build this food plot is about 1/2 an acre. What plant do you think I should use?
• Durring what part of the year should I build this food plot?
Thanks for you’re help. I enjoy all the videos on YouTube.
Logan,
If there are a lot of deer in the area, then clover may be a good choice to plant in the 1/2 acre food plot. Clover handles being browsed heavily about as well as any forage crop.
One good plan may be to plant the clover this August if there is ample soil moisture available. I like to plant a forage wheat with the clover. The wheat serves as a cover crop to protect the clover and makes a lot of forage quickly!
Be sure and do a soil test to check the nutrients before you plant. Forage that doesn’t have good quality nutrients will be malnourished and such forage won’t attract as many deer and won’t produce as much tonnage as well feed crops.
Enjoy creation,
