The biggest “if” I have in these sandy soil conditions revolves around water. That’s one of the reasons why I’m willing to sacrifice optimal seed bed prep in order to have optimal moisture infiltration and retention. It doesn’t bother me if my fields aren’t “orderly”. By having a diverse mix going like I do now….I know my field will fill up with plant life and the deer will be there just the same. My focus is on good plant health and pushing the productivity of the field. Even if I still have some spots of crabgrass come in (which I’m sure is going to happen)…..I want to see it healthy and vigorously producing biomass. If it’s struggling to grow and turning colors, then that means that I still have soil issues that need addressing. I want my engine finely tuned and turning over some RPM's....not just struggling to idle and going put put put....
