[Rube Shooter]

Nice. 1 question for you sir. How much do you have in for all the seeds?

The beans very little since bought out of grain bin for bushel price. The other plots vary each depending on what was planted. The alfalfa seed goes on my clover end of next month @2.99 per pound , but the 4 other plots was for a buddy for around $100 in all the seeds with enough left over to plant again next year.

As for most bang for the buck, clover and purple top beets are by far the best way to go. They need to be separated so the clover can be mowed.

Edit: Kopu 2 clover spelled Kopu ll is the best I’ve found so far. That’s the main ingredient of the more expensive clover seed. Large leafs and hard to kill. Clover is excellent for feed and breeding activities.

Thank you sir for the info. That's very reasonable on the price, and the pay off will be the reward. Can't wait to see what your efforts bring in this year. My hunting property has cattle on it again after 5 years of no cows. All the food plots have to be fenced and I don't have it in me to put up even an acre of fencing. If I find out we will be on it after 2 more years for another 5 year run I may do a food plot in the future.

Couldn’t help myself and decided to mow and water. I cleaned up all the cut grass after it dried and will keep the water pumping all weekend until the place is soaked. Clover to the right and beans and brassicas to the left.

you can find a soybean field and follow the combine and get all the beans for planting you want...because sometimes the reel on the header knocks them out..sometimes you can find cab beans..these are beans that flow off the combine bin when it's over full...lots of lost corn and beans after harvest just ask the farmer they will usually let you go out and pick downed corn and spilled beans..that's what I do to feed my ol donkey in the winter for snacks

Never would have thought of this, definitely good options to consider, thank you for the info sir.

It’s hard to appreciate hot weather until you drag a 2” water hose around. Lol got the place soaked for a good season coming! It’s going to rain tomorrow now lmao but that’s just icing on the cake.

Just watered again for 2 days, lol I have beans everywhere and didn’t realize it. They were hidden in the CRP growth but now can see them all over the place. Alfalfa is sprouting due to the watering so should be a awesome garden of variety! Hoping to setup my son for his first archery buck this year.
