Chester Co. Fall Plots---WI Chicory Plus---------Also Eagle Bean Update

Got to travel back to Chester co. Tennessee again, and try to establish a couple of Clover and Chicory plots.  The deer in this part of the world are well fed this year as they completely destroyed our 4.5 acres of Eagle Soybeans.  Although I have to give a big thumbs up to Eagle Seed,  as these Large Lad's are still putting on new leaves, after 4 months of being snipped off multiple times.  When you see a soybean field that looks like this one does after 4 months,  you are serious need of more food sources for your deer. 



On to the fall plots, we worked about 2 acres up and broadcasted fertilizer and 100lbs of the Fall mix, and disced it in, and then overseeded the field with the Whitetail Institute Chicory Plus.




Benton County Fall Plots!!

I got to meet a couple of really great guys on a new to them 500 acre lease in Benton Co. Tennessee.  They had been doing alot of work and had these two fields in tip top shape for me to come in and work.  One field was 1.25 acres that layed in a long narrow shape, and we sowed it down with the Fall Mix consisting of Winter Wheat, Oats, Austrian Winter Peas, and we then overseeded it with some Crimson clover. 

On the other side of that 25ft high shooting house lies a 2.5 acres field that we sowed with a 8 way Clover blend purchased from Hoopers Supply in Murfreesboro, TN.



Busy Fall Season!!!!

Sorry about being gone so long, but it has been a extremely busy fall for us at Back Acre Food Plots.  I was begining to wonder if we were going to have a repeat of 2010 as the upper 90's  and extremely dry conditions dragged on through mid August, but boy has September been a dream come true for us wildlife managers who are trying to overseed clover and establish Fall attraction plots!! 

Lets get going here and I will fill you in on all of our latest food plot jobs!   Remember to get your soil testing done this fall, and you wont have to worry with it come spring!!!
Loaded up and ready to go!!
