When will you be planting your food plots?

Ours is already shot up to about 3". We have wheat, oats, clover, turnips, and radishes. Some ploys have all of it in it some only specific seed. The one I planted heavy in crimson clover is looking great as of Sunday.
If you have clods would re-harrow the entire plot until the clods are gone...
just a simple suggestion to strongly consider...

I usually will use a turning plow in mid to late August and harrow well in September just prior to planting. I don't know but I was always told to bush hog, then turn, then harrow but be sure to give sufficient time after you turn to let the roots from the grass and weeds you've turned to dry out and die. Beats the the expense of having to apply a lot of herbicide
I spend way too much time on food plots. Seven tons of lime in March, bush hog and disc in April. Plow and disc some more and then smooth them at least twice before putting down seed. Will be laying down seed in the morning. Rain is forcast for tomorrow evening.
Got all of the food plots done, and four hours later we had a nice rain for about thirty minutes. Should get some more tomorrow, but hopefully after the morning hunt.
