We’ll see….that’s what experimenting is all about. It may not sound like a lot of corn but I have one of the big Land Pride spreaders and it wasn’t too far away from being slam full. It looked like a lot more once I had it all poured in the hopper. One thing I’m counting on is the food plot to start establishing and that becoming a draw as well. It’ll be a gradual process that may take a couple weeks or more. So far though all I’ve done is made a few laps around the field with a spreader that maybe took me a grand total of 30 minutes to do with very little strain on the tractor. If it does turn out to work then that’s about as simple and easy peezy as you could get. I didn't even have to swap tractor implements. If I need to spread a little more corn then so be it…..I look at spreading the corn as serving two functions anyways. It’s helping to create the mob grazing effect and its also baiting deer in….so I don’t see it as just an additional cost that we’re simply having to eat in order to plant this way. I'm also getting to hunt over a well baited field. I actually think that my field would probably establish ok without any corn at all….it may just take it a little longer. Like I said though….this is why we experiment….we’ll watch what happens then tweak and adjust as needed.
