i have around 60 acres of land and am thinking of putting my first food plots on it. We have water and some small amount of field that we can plant on. One place that i was thinking about is a rocky soil and the other not so much. The other one sits next to a pond and the woods. Both of these places are about 1/2 of an acre and i was wondering what type of plot i should plant. Its in the northern part of SC.

I have 80 acres I hunt in Texas.  There are a couple of things I would do before you pick which, or both locations to plant you food plot.

A. Where are they located?  I would plant the first plot toward the middle of your property.  This type of plot will pull deer into the middle and you will not just be hunting on the edges.
B. Do a soil test at each location = For your first plot you want it to be easy as possible and low cost.  Trust me, the soil test will tell you how much fertalizer, lime, etc. you will need saving time and money.  If one location comes back with a better test, I would start there.
C. Water and Sun - Find a spot that has moist soil when it rains (does not dry out fast, and gets good sun.

I started off trying to do one big plot, and when the seed you choose does not come up you can get really frustrated.  Start small and see how it goes.  If it works, make it bigger next year.

Call your local wildlife biologist.  Tell them 2 or 3 of the Tecomate seed kits you are thinking about planting and ask them which ones they feel would work best.  They will be straight with you and can give detail as to when to plant.

Hope this Helps

I cant thank you enough for the reply. From all the research that I have been doing on the web no one has given me such a simple answer. They give good answers, but only if you have been growing plots for years and know what to do and know all of the terminology, which defeats the purpose of the question. Thanks again for the help.

Anytime.
