Planning Food Plots on Southeast Minnesota Land

Good food plots start with soil, sun and access. Here's what to look for in a parcel if you want to plant for deer and other wildlife.

How do I plan a food plot on hunting land in southeast Minnesota?

Start with a soil test, since fixing pH is often the difference between a plot that grows and one that doesn't. Check CRP, RIM and wetland rules before breaking ground, then place the plot by deer movement, sun, slope and equipment access. Why it matters to you: the plot works for wildlife and for you.
