I’m not sure.

The field here at my home property is a little over 2 acres and the big field at the hunting club is a little over 3. Everything else is 1 acre or less.

I might throw this out there too. Aside from the benefits in soil fertility……this type of approach to food plotting makes fall planting much, much simpler. I’m sure there are several on here that can attest to that after this last fall. Cereal grains and clovers work very well with throw and mow.


I'm gonna give cereal rye a try again next year, but it didn't do well this year. Everything else did, just not the rye. If I had plots that large and dry I wouldn't have any problems. I've just been curious if doing this method would allow me to bank more tonnage for the late season, but haven't seen that to be the case, yet. Maybe somebody will have an example that mirrors ours.

If I planted a Spring plot, it would almost be floating on water in a normal year.
