I've learned on aldeer over the last couple of years that disking up food plots is bad, bad, bad. I also read that you can't improve soil quality by plowing in cover crops. Apparently I haven't completely ruined this spot of ground. I planted this plot on 11/29/16. Yes, I cut the soil, spread the seed, and cut it in. I put 250 lbs of 15-5-10 per acre at planting. I waited for rain to plant it. That's my Honda 4 wheeler sitting in there amongst the vegetation. It's Cereal Rye, Wheat, Crimson Clover and Rape.  
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

It's harder to find arra heads if you drill, plowing is the only thing I ever have done.

I didn't know plowing was evil. I guess you can call me a demon.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I like chopping thing up. With a plow. Me too. I have a lot of time and money invested in a tractor and implements, deer hunting is just an excuse for me to play farmer.

No way I could ride through that on a four wheeler this time of year. My eyes would swell shut, throat would close up and my nose would run like Niagara Falls. Does look good though. The heads of Rye would "poof" yellow when I hit them with the 4 wheeler rack.

Not bad for not doing throw and mow and being on Sand Mt.  Well, you know Sand Mountain is known for it's rich topsoil. Oh wait, we don't have any. LOL I've been planting this plot for about 10 years. It's amazing how fast turning under a crop of vegetation like this will build the soil.

Turning under a few years and proper liming is the ticket.

Lookin good, guys! My plots in TN look similar and I know when I mow them that I'll bust up some turkey nests.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Since Fur wants to start lobbing grenades unprovoked, I’ll respond. If you’ve read and learned any of the stuff your referring to, then you’ve freely done so on your own accord by clicking on the only throw n mow thread that’s way down there in the QDMA forum. Nobody’s arm is being twisted. If your feathers have been ruffled then you searched it out and got them ruffled on your own. But hey, if you just want to spend the afternoon dragging a plow around in a cloud of dust then knock yourself out. However, it’s not necessary in many/most situations and if it was working out so great for everyone then there would be lush, green food plots growing in every plot……but there’s not…..there’s actually very few…… even on some of the most high dollar properties. It’s possible to grow great food plots with a fraction of the time and effort of doing it with traditional methods…..very likely less $$$ in the long run as well. Anyone who would like to learn how is free to join the discussion in the QDMA subforum. If you want to do it the old way, then that’s perfectly fine too……Just keep them bearings greasy fellas.

I thought everyone's fields looked like that this time of year! It's a pain in the ass IMO. I disced some this weekend that were 6ft tall.

Aw man, I was expecting fireworks and all we got was a spark...  Good response. I'm still the bushhog/disc method but very much enjoy seeing the results in the throw and mow thread. It's definitely adaptable and a nice alternative.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now
