[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4127825, member: 14646"] Maybe I should have mentioned it in my OP but these food plots are the same ones I developed for the first time last year prior to deer season. THey grew well and lasted well into 2024. I let them grow but didn't get a massive amount of weeks. Once the food plot growth ended/died and Spring rolled around I got some weeds and stuff start to come up that was there before developing the plots. It never got back to the huge growth or with woody plants or 4' tall growth of random weeds. I cut it as low as my mower would go. THen I used my brush grapple to back drag all the plots to bunch up the cuttings to dumped in my burn pile. Real low mowing and back dragging got the food plots down to bare dirt in a lot of areas. Had bit more weed regrowth by late August so did a quick mow again. What I was spraying the glyphosate for was some of the real short weeds and any other plant that was coming back up from the rains we had several weeks ago. The plots, when I sprayed, looked like an old worn out soccer field at the end of a long season that got no maintenance at all. I wasn't spraying huge amounts of foliage. So, this weekend, knowing we are supposed to get some heavys on Wednesday/Thursday I decided to make it happen. Rented a 3pt tiller for my Kubota and tilled the hell out of the plots. It was making about 6-8" of real nice powdery soil. Went over each plot about three times. I was a dusty mess but could find very little evedence of any weeds/green showing I the dirt. Then used my kubota to drag a heavy harrow with mutilple passes. Third, I used my ATV to spread 200# of 10-10-10 on all three plots. THen used two hog/goat panels to drag and cover the fertilizer. After that and final step used the ATV again to spread 200#s of Buck Forage Oats and 50# of winter wheat and drug the plots one final time. I think I got a lot of seed down for about 2 acres of total food plots. I wanted to get this all done before the pending rain so threw caution to the wind and went for it. First pic is my small food plot and second is my medium plot. At this point I had only used the tiller on the plots. Didn't get any pics of my large, more secluded plot.
