Here is a photographic
sequence of a major food plot project that we are finishing this year. This all began when the beavers flooded a 15
acres cedar grove, killing the trees. We
caught the beavers and digged a drainage ditch in the entire cedar grove, in
the flooded area as well as in the dried area.
During the winter, the wood was cut and part of the residues were
burned.
Next summer, the
excavator came for the first time to dig a ditch on the surroundings, remove
the tree stumps and make windrows.
It dried and drained
for one year and we made seed tests in the small opening on the left of the
future field.
The excavator came
back again to bury the windrows.
For the last two
weeks, a young man has been collecting the final residues with an ATV so that
we may sow in three weeks a mixture of Whitetail
Imperial clover and soya. I will
let you know the progress during the summer.
Have a good day. Louis
