Late season timber food plot

[blackpowder72]

Sorry I'm probably posting this in the wrong forum but it wouldn't let me post in Habitat section. Ok I have a place I want to put a food plot in the timber for late season. Very minimal sunlight. I can get my little tractor to it to do tillage. What are your best suggestions? Thanks.

Minimal sunlight?? About the only thing that I think would sort of work is clover.

It gets some sunlight in the summer but not much. I was thinking planting it in August.

Timber=clover.

Food plots need sunlight, I would try clover where sun is limited, but I think you are swimming upstream and should not get your hopes too high.

I know they need sunlight , I farm so I know how to raise crops. Only place I have in this spot doesn't get much sunlight so I was curious what people have tried. I will throw some clover and barassics out there see what happens.

Any chance to get some trees out of there on the South Southwest side? Get a little more sunlight to the plot?
Planting clover in August I don't think you would have a good stand until spring time.
I would do clover and winter rye not brassica.
Good luck
