You don’t have to manage prairie mud. You can throw a 50lb sack of wheat and 100lbs of 13/13/13 to the acre and make yourself look like the best farmer in Alabama. There were plenty of years we didn’t even fertilize until we hit it with urea sometime mid December. And there were summers where the Johnson grass was 8ft tall but I was scared to lose a small child if they fell into one of the hundreds of cracks.

As Ron said, it will grow plants and deer. And lots of both.
