    Finally completed the task of putting the plots in. This was alot more work than I had planned. If you guys can remember I had to reclaim a 2 acre section of thick weeds by the river and also take down about 3 acres total of never been broke hay ground. Did most of it with a 4 wheeler and broadcasted everything. Had a tractor and a old small disc to help break the hardpan but it was not that effective on the never been tilled soils.

    Here are some of the pictures. The river picture is my mixed plot containing Fridged Forage Monster Magnet
    it Contains: Spring forage peas, forage soybeans, sunflowers, rye grain, crimson clover, common vetch, forage turnips, sugar beets, and Daikon forage radish.
    Pretty happy how this turned out. It is really thick and the deer are using almost everynight. The brassicas are really coming in right now.

    My other field are all soybeans with little bit of corn thrown in there. Now I just need some rain.

    The last picture shows how much of a difference using a roller has made in my fields pretty neat stuff.

    Will get picture of the PLOT SCREEN progress soon. It is coming along nicely as well.
