We are supposed to be getting a little rain next week so I went ahead and put a deer plot in behind my house today. Once corn harvest starts I usually end up getting my plots in late so I decide to get a jump on them this year. This plot I ended up planting tillage radishes, purple top turnips, and seven top. I sprayed it with a quart of roundup and a quart of Prowl. Will come back later with about 30 units of nitrogen to give it a little kick start.





Checked my plot the other day and it has a pretty good stand. Only a few thin spots. Did notice a lot of worm damage though. Probably will spray it with a pyrethroid today.

Nice, was planning on going to the camp this weekend but thought it was going to be a wash out. It ended up being nice up there right now.

looks nice.

You have any tips for someone with the following:

Tractor with disk and grade box
North Central Arkansas

Lots of rocks mixed in, I used the grade box to break up the soil, removed a ton of rocks so far.

not sure of the pH, never been planted before. This is several locations, but each location is about 1 acre

Any tips on what to plant? I will be planting probably early september or the last weekend of August.

I was planning thus far to plant some with Imperial Whitetail Clover mixed with Winter Wheat and some with Winter Peas.

I haven't done many plots before except on the flood banks of the MS river where anything will grow. Are the some "must have" additions? Any suggestions would be great

Checked the plots the other day ended up having a good stand. Going to have to spray for worms though.
