Biggest plot I have right now on the pine/hardwood piece is 1/4 acre, maybe a touch more. Not sure what I could put on those to withstand the grazing pressure. On the pasture property. The landowner still lets his cattle free range through that area and they have a tendency to destroy food plots

The only thing I can think that may withstand the grazing and be a good soil builder would be a buckwheat/sunn hemp mix


A 1/4 acre plot might provide a little attraction in the fall/winter but can't think of anything that would work spring/summer if you have any deer at all. I have problems with deer wiping out 4 or 5 acre plots in summer and 2 acre plots in the fall
