Planting Method:
Prepare a smooth, firm seedbed by plowing and dragging the soil. This will remove all vegetation and debris from the site thus eliminating competition. Fertilizer and lime can be applied during this step so it can be worked into the soil. Broadcast the seed at the recommended rate evenly across the area. Using a light drag or packer, cover the seed no deeper than the maximum depth indicated. Making good seed to soil contact is the key to establishing a productive food plot.

Fertility Soil test:
Apply lime according to test results to maintain a 6.0-7.0 pH
