Food plots

[Guest sharpshooter01]

My in laws have a small piece of land with a roadbed running through the woods that I'm thinking about planting. I'm thinking about winter wheat, oats and maybe some kind of clover, but I'm not sure how well this will grow with limited sunlight. Any of you guys ever planted a roadbed like this and have any success with getting anything to grow?

Growing anything that you cant tend often is tough. We did get some radish to come up in a pipeline but the winter wheat got choked out and died or never came up at all.

I just throw corn and winter wheat all summer up to the legal limit of time and it keeps them in the area. Salt blocks or those "rocks" at Co-Op work really well too. This is the hole they have dug out AFTER the rock was melted and licked down to nothing. They really prefer to eat the salty dirt as to anything else to me. As you can see, they do like the spot.

Bio-logic makes some seeds specifically designed to grow in shaded woods, not sure what it was called but have used it and would again.

I showed you that hole didn't I McFlurry? That's right on top of the hill behind the cabin!! For those mornings I don't want to go far from the bed!
