1. Define Your Goals
Select whether you want to attract deer for hunting or provide year-round nutrition for wildlife. This sets the stage for your plan.
2. Measure & Map
Enter your plot size and identify potential locations. Our tool recommends allocating 2–5% of your property to food plots and distributing them to reduce pressure.
3. Choose Your Forages
We suggest warm- and cool-season forages, seed rates and planting dates, then compile your inputs into a custom calendar and map.
FAQ
How big should my food plot be?
Hunting plots can be less than 0.5 acre while nutrition plots range from 0.5 to 5 acres. Distribute plots across your land to reduce browsing pressure.
What seeds should I plant?
We recommend mixing warm- and cool-season forages. Rotate crops and test your soil to adjust lime and fertilizer.
Do I need to till the soil?
Light tillage can help incorporate amendments, but no-till methods work if weeds are controlled. Always test your soil first.
