Therein lies the issue. Everyone is looking at a different piece of ground. 257 suggested that throw and mow may not be feasible for everyone. I was simply agreeing with him on the grounds that each property is different. If someone just got a new timber company lease and they're not 100% sure they'll renew it next year, why would they concern themselves with long term soil improvements? Secondly, most timber company food plots are nothing more than converted loading docks, usually in a dry spot like a ridge top. They may not have enough biomass in year 1 to effectively practice throw and mow. Remember, these leases usually renew in the summer time. A guy may not have time to grow biomass before it's time to plant fall food plots.
