It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Nitro Mag, I will have to agree with you. Sometimes I take food plots and split them into sections: IE: Wheat, Oats, Clover, Rye and try to notice if one or the other is used at different times of the season. I have been know to mow my food plots durning the winter, when freeze burn appears on the plants.

Remember their are not Magic Bullets in food plots, only sound management of the resource.

Question about corn/corn field food plots. Can you do them as a dual purpose field? By that I mean can you plant em early enough to bushhog some in mid august for a dove field, then leave every other swath uncut and standing for the deer? Is bushhogging them...a few strips to have shooting lanes for deer legal???? Provided that you come back and plant some kinda wheat, clover, etc where you mowed. Just a hypothetical situation which will work out good if it is legal.
