Been working on a new food plot plan for my farm going forward after experimenting the last 4-5 yrs. I'm calling it "stacking", i'm sure other people have done it before but I do not know of anyone.
I'm planting either sorghum/ milo or corn in every plot next spring . After it dies down and thins up a little I am going to try to sow turnips , radishes ,and probably clover with in the standing grain.
I really really like sorghum/milo as a late winter protein source for quail/rabbit/turkey/deer and it also gives great cover for the small game .
The biggest challenge is going to be the secondary plot with in the primary plot that is dead but still standing but I've got a few ideas on how to make it work. If it works I think it will be an awesome set up.
-Are you familiar with anyone who has tried this approach??
- Any ideas on how to achieve the 2nd planting while leaving the original plot standing? Hydro seeder?!?
- Should I reduce initial grain planting density to allow more room for secondary planting? I would think so .
Let's hear your ideas one day after you've had time to ponder. My plots are more than deer food, I try to focus as much for small game
