Last weekend I finally found the time - and the opportunity - to prep some wildlife food plots. I've either been preoccupied with the vast garden and other chores. Or waiting out the rain.

Fifteen gallons of Glyphosate (generic version of RoundUp) on three locations that will be planted into a combination of rape, turnip and red clover. The rape and turnips are brassicas that will provide forage into the fall and winter. They grow fast and are cold-tolerant. The clover is a perennial and will persist into the years to come.
A low maintenance planting all you have to do is mow it and fertilize it once a year. The flowers attract insects for the birds and all the critters like munching on fresh, sweet clover.
The weekend of Schützenfest is an opportunity to plant the plots...
