ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For all of the following forage plantings, it is understood that the planting area is free of grass and weeds with a soil texture that will allow soil to seed contact. Food plots do not need to be large. One half acre to two acres is optimum size. Ideally, food plots should be located close to cover with irregular shaped boundaries. If the food plot is in an open or hardwood area, consider planting some conifers along an edge. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different forage crops. Wildlife does best with a variety of food.

We will have individual types of food plot seed (rye, oats, buckwheat, forage rape, forage turnips, clover, forage chicory, etc.) available for sale on the day you pick up your trees. If you are looking for something special, call us and we will try to make those available for you. 989-785-4083.

Other Important Information:

  • Site preparation is very important for the success of tree and shrub plantings. It is important to get rid of the grass, weeds, and other vegetation so they do not complete with the seedlings for sunlight, moisture and nutrients. This can be done mechanically, with herbicides or several other methods. Mowing is not considered weed control because it stimulates weed root growth.
  • If you need help with selection of species and where they grow best or would like a species that is not offered in the catalog, stop by our office at 13210 M-33 or call us at 989-785-4083.
