Show notes

Sit back and enjoy another fantastic guest discussing a new food plot management technique that requires low inputs. There is a method to the madness that you will discover when we speak with agronomist and crop consultant Mitt Wardlaw.

Mitt shares his thoughts on the ways to fight high inflation food plots that we discussed last week on the podcast. His insight and knowledge on costs and planning for expenses to get the most out of the soil are impressive. In addition, we go into detail regarding his time and expense-saving food plot regime. Despite planting grain crops, Mitt is able to have great yields, low weed pressure by only planting the right seed at the appropriate times. He uses plant growth characteristics to make the most out of his plot. For every crop of corn he plants, he will follow up with three legume crops to feed the soil. Balansa clover is an annual variety that helps fight weed control and rejuvenate the soil.

2022 has started out with a big surprise for those who follow along with Land & Legacy. We have started a new podcast feed and what to invite everyone to subscribe and follow along. In addition, we have a new partner to unveil!

Throughout the years of Land & Legacy, real estate has always been a part of what we do and how we present information. Therefore it only makes sense to have a strong relationship with Whitetail Properties Real Estate. This partnership is going to be a big opportunity for those who enjoy video content as well. You will see Land & Legacy hosting many of the videos on LandBeat. Check out the content on social media and Youtube.

We are excited for what the future holds and how each of you can be more of a part of it. We ask that you assist us helping share the new podcast feed with your friends and family.

Fighting High Inflation Food Plots Jan 04, 2022

Ready or not the high-priced food plots are coming. The price of herbicide, fertilizer, freight, and seed is here. Food plot planting during 2022 is going to look different and expensive, so necessary precautions should be taken. Prior planning is essential so you don't break the bank.

We cover four main ways to not fall victim to paying the high price for inputs this year. First, we discuss the ways to cut herbicide usage. Secondly, we explain the role that perennial plots like the Revival blend from Stratton Seed is an eleven-month crop for many portions of the country. It also does not need to be planted annually, this crop should last 6-7 years. The third option is to consider allowing some food plots to go fallow for a year. Lastly, we discuss how producing food for wildlife doesn't have to be in the form of food plots. Native vegetation should play an even larger role moving forward on your recreational property.

Please share this message with other landowners so they can plan food plots properly for 2022 and beyond.

Habitat Work Completed in One Year Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

Looking back over the year it's easy to think the work list did not get completed as hoped but when you put it all on paper you might feel very accomplished! Chainsaw Chad and Adam are working through the previous year at the Whistling Woodlands.

We started the year with the initial purchase of the property and immediately hit the ground running with projects. Over the course of 11 months we were able to restore a glade, improve some old fields, create more food plots, add water holes and many other projects. This is a product of having a plan and sticking to it! Prioritizing your projects is one of the biggest ways to cut time and make things happen! #Forloveoftheland
