I took advantage of the great weather this Sunday to do a little food plot maintenance. First I checked on my corn plot. It surprised me quite a bit. I wasn't expecting much at all due to the record drought this summer and I didn't have much of a budget for fertilizer. However a little over half the stalks made ears and even though they were small they had good looking kernels on them.
Then I hopped on my "tractor" and took off to mow my clover plots. My herbicide budget is about the same as my fertilizer budget so I have to resort to mowing my clover to control weeds. I let it grow wild all summer long and mowed it down today. Some of it was tough to chew through with the ol' exmark but it got the job done. By October it should be nice and lush. I set a trail cam on one of them and we'll see what happens!
