Ok, you have 2500 acres and 35 acres of food plots. Average acre of food plot is 2 acres and plots are spread out evenly around your 2500 ac.

It's August 1st and the food plots have grown up.

How many tractor hours is it going to take to prepare the food plots (I mean a good seed bed!), (if you need to spray gly, then that's part of your preparation and calculate that time in your final figure) spread and cover the seed? Costs of seed is not in the equation. Just how many tractor hours. Travel time to food plot IS considered in the time calculation.

Oh, the tractor. Well, it is a 50 or 60 hp tractor with 6' disc. Nope, I am not going to drill. Not a bad idea, but we're disking.

EDIT and UPDATE:

I just bought a 60 hp tractor (4X4) and a TuffLine 8' pull-behind disk.

The food plots have been deep disked and planted last fall so this ain't virgin food plots.
