Trying to think about anything but the horrendous heat and drought that we are currently experiencing, I thought I would write a blog for Dave. He always tells me that he doesn't mind having a break. Anyway, I needed a haircut today so I went to my barber. Just an old fashioned $6.00 haircut. My wife can verify that I don't need much styling. While waiting I picked up the July 2012 issue Buckmasters Magazine. Typical reading material while waiting for a haircut. An article caught my eye that discussed the common failures of food plot construction.
Food plots are constructed to
provide habitat and food for wildlife. Food plots give wildlife the needed
habitat to flourish and grow. One of the eventual consequences is that
food plots can give the owner an abundant supply of wildlife to look at and to
harvest this fall when the appropriate season arrives. I enjoyed this
article because the number one failure to be determined in food plot
construction was the lack of a good soil test. The writer of the article
was preaching to the choir as I read. As we always preach and the article
stated is that a soil test not only provides information on what the soil needs
to make it healthy, but, more importantly what it doesn't need. I found it
refreshing to see that there are others who think the way we
do.
