2 Enemies of Warm Season Food Plots

If you are a serious whitetail manager, you know that warm season food plots full of high protein forage are important for maintaining a healthy herd and growing bigger bucks.

Understanding Food Plot Fertilizers

A food plot farmer needs to understand that a fertilizer recommendation is just a suggestion for the amount of (N) nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium that particular crop uses during a typical growing season under average conditions and a neutral pH. It is NOT necessarily the fertilizer you should be using! A soil test should be done to determine “your soil’s” pH and current nutrient load. These figures are used in union with what
