Nice job on that StinkMan:clap:

Not much of a farmer so I will ask. What is the purpose of a cultipacker?

Basically it makes a nice firm seed bed, helps with erosion and soil to seed contact. I spray my fields with glyphosphate (roundup) about 3 weeks before planting. Come back planting day and disc, spread fertilizer, seed (wheat oats, rye, winter peas, etc) ... then cultipack. After that spread your clover and walk away.

......and hope for rain:sun:

Yep. I ALWAYS plant by the weather and not the calender when it comes to food plots. Hit it perfect this year like years past, front coming in and it got a soaking the next day then another about a week later. Last year I had beautiful plots for the opening of bow season, when alot of folks are just getting seed in the ground around here.

Cool man..... I tried to get the clover down last week after our fields were tilled but the ground was soaked. Im sure the clover would pop right up but we cant put any vehicles on it in the state its in now. Im headin out there Wed to get a sit in and I'll check it again. I typically want it in no later than OCT 1st.....Ours were real pretty last year as well. Didnt get much attention till Xmas but they definitely held last years Xmas party in my food plot, haha!!

Sounds good. I experimented with one small shady woods plot this year with clover early. I planted it alone the last week of august. Its coming up good, may need a spray for weeds at some point but so far so good. I love trying new things when it comes to growing stuff whther in my garden, grow room or in the woods. It doesnt always work out but everytime you learn something new.

I hear ya on that, love to experiment with that stuff. Hell my clover looked good up until Aug with 90+deg heat. I was shocked!!

What kind of selective herbicide do you use on clover? I havent pulled the trigger on whitetail institute's hi-dollar herbicides yet. I did want to try Triflurilin and/or Dimension to see if that would work but havent yet...

Clethodim. Some clover specifically white will tolerate low dosages of 2-4D in my experience also. i have a mix of Durana and Crimson. I top mow mine when it goes to seed early summer and it keeps on making. Sometimes without replanting for a few years. Depending on weather conditions obviously.

Awesome man I'll check into that. That Imperial did really well for us so I think Im gonna stick with it....
