I have experimented with food plots for many years and if you are in a heavily farmed area I dont think that the critters are attracted to a food plot in an area with abundant ag crops. Because I cannot get the deer out of our soybeans......
As far as deer go......clover and soybeans would make a perfect combo.......add other seed producing plants for birds. Iam currently trying to get alfalpha to take on our sandy plot.
You definately have a background on the major issues....my major one is weed competition from Burmuda grass...and it always wins.
If money is not an issue then spraying is the answer.......just like a farmer would do.....when yeild must be maximized.
My problem is Iam still search for a very cheap used planter and so I broadcast and then disc in my seed......which as you stated causes weed seed germination.......but I have cost limitations especially when I know that they love the beans in our other fields.
All we need now is Round-up ready food plots.
