Provide Reliable Forage: Supply high-quality food during stress periods like drought, winter, or post-rut recovery.

Enhance Habitat: Add long-term diversity, improve soil cover, and reduce erosion.
Increase Property Value: Well-designed food plots make land more desirable for hunting and investment.
Our Proven Food Plot Development Process.
We don’t just “move some dirt and scatter seed.” Every project follows a step-by-step approach to give you the best results.
Walk & Assess the Site: We evaluate slope, sunlight, drainage, and existing vegetation to choose the right location. Plots are only successful when the site is matched to your goals.
Plan & Recommend Seed Mixes: We recommend seed blends—annuals, perennials, or a mix—based on your hunting goals, property layout, and regional conditions. Clover, brassicas, oats, beans, and other proven mixes are tailored for Kansas and Nebraska growing seasons.
Prep the Ground & Plant: We clear, grade, and prepare the soil bed so the seed can take root properly. With the right equipment, we plant at the correct depth and rate for strong, even growth.
Finish Strong & Maintain Growth: Edges are smoothed, crossings compacted if needed, and seed covered to spec. Once established, we can return for mowing, overseeding, or re-planting as needed to keep your food plots performing year after year.
Site Prep & Seed Selection Done Right
Food plots fail most often because of poor site prep or the wrong seed choice. We’ve built food plots across cropland edges, creek bottoms, pastures, and timber openings, and we know what works in the Midwest. From kill plots tucked into timber to larger destination plots, we’ll help you choose seed that grows in your soil and climate, not just what looks good on a bag.
Annual vs. Perennial Food Plots: What to Know
Annual plots—such as brassicas, beans, and oats—multiply and deliver strong attraction during hunting season, but they need to be replanted each year. Perennial plots—like clover, chicory, and alfalfa—come back season after season, offering reliable forage with less soil disturbance. For the best results, many landowners blend the two: fast-growing annuals to draw deer right away and hardy perennials for consistent, long-term food sources.
Ongoing Food Plot Maintenance & Management
A food plot isn’t just a one-and-done project—it needs the proper care to stay lush and attractive season after season. Our maintenance services include mowing, overseeding, weed control, and re-planting to keep your plots drawing wildlife year-round. Whether you’re looking for a single tune-up or complete annual management, we’ll protect your investment and keep your property performing at its best.
