Well I finally got to getting some lime for my foodplot and put it on yesterday. I think that i'm going to get a spreader for the back rack of my fourwheeler b/c the pull behind one that i had sucks, it was bouncing all over and looked like it was going to tip half the time and i was only going 3 mph roughly. I got a question for those of you with experience in putting in foodplots, the spot where i'm putting it in is standing stalks still, will i be allright just disking the ground in the spring and running a harrow over it before planting or should i chop the stalks too. I just got to thinking that the stalks might still be sticking up pretty good after disking and that might not work too good with planting my clover. I also talked to the landowner yesterday when i was putting on my lime and he said that he is going to get a bobcat with a cutter on the front to mow down a bunch of thorns and small trees. I think that sucks b/c it might scare the deer out of there with the lack of cover? Hopefully it stays too wet to get the bobcat in there without leaving some massive ruts in the ground. I personally think that he is crazy to cut out a bunch of smaller trees, he thinks that the other trees will grow better and i don't know why he wants to cut out all of the thorns. What do you think about the trees and thorn deal?
