WHAT IS FOOD PLOT TILLING?
Food plot tilling is the process of breaking up and turning soil to create a proper seed bed for wildlife food plots. Whether you're planting clover, brassicas, oats, or a custom blend, proper soil preparation is the single most important factor in food plot success.
We use commercial-grade tilling equipment to break through compacted soil, root systems, and existing vegetation. Our tilling reaches the proper depth to create loose, aerated soil that promotes strong root growth and maximum seed-to-soil contact.
We can also incorporate lime, fertilizer, and other soil amendments during the tilling process based on your soil test results. This saves you time and ensures amendments are evenly distributed throughout the seed bed.
