Few Food Plot Pics

Did not get much rain after we planted but we got just enough and its running a little behind. This is a mix of Corn, Cow Peas, LabLab, and Sorghum. Some of the areas look pretty good some got some grass and few weeds mixed in but being I live 4 hours from the club not much I can do. The beans are coming in pretty thick I was worried when they first sprouted as the deer were hitting them pretty hard. We leave a one side so we can get around without driving in the plot.







This last one I am kinda shocked by as I was trying to empty the drill and just dropped it on a area we had not prepped as we have other plans for it for fall plots.

Looks nice.

Nice looking plots.

looks good but where is all the deer at? My peas and beans look like they have been hit by a weedeater in both Harnett and Rockingham counties. Your pics don't show much browsing.

The 3rd pic of the long lane with the tower stand, that lane is 300 yards long and the middle 100 is mowed to the ground. Now these are on a farm with 300 acres of peanuts on it so they have plenty to eat!

Okay that makes sense. 300 acres of peanuts is some good groceries. By the way I like your slogan....never argue with an idiot. That is a good one

Matter of fact that long lane leads to the field, that is where I was standing when I took that pic. Last year when it was cotton they mowed it all down!

looks nice

Man I don't know how you guys get your peas to last so long. I planted 7 acres and they are gone in 3 weeks. We are getting ready to do a second planting for archery season!!

300 acres of peanuts go a looooooong way. I remember deer hunting in Northampton when they use to grow peanuts. The deer didn't touch nothing but the peanuts. The peanuts could handle the browsing but they didn't tolerate the animals digging them up.

On some of our other farms they have had to replant 350 acres of beans this year!
