As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
Creating The Best Food Plot Mix And The Hunting Exchange App
Why is it important to blend species of plants in a food plot?
- palatability throughout the season
- nutrition
- nitrogen fixing / symbiotic plant relationships
How can I determine how much of each species to plant?
- is there a “right” way to do it?
- Can I plant too much seed?
- if I increase the amount of one kind of seed, do I have to decrease the amount of another?
What types of plants should we consider in our fall food plot mix?
- this is an opportunity to talk about the types of plants you guys like to use in your blends and why
- grasses – wheat, oats, rye
- legumes – clovers, peas, beans
- Brassicas – rape, kale, radish
What is the “best” blend?
- hunters can match your blends to their goals. Some goals below:
- no till food plots
- “micro” or “hidey hole” food plots
- soil conditions (wet / sandy)
- herd health / forage production outside of hunting season
- maximum attraction
