Question

Grant,

Do you harvest any of what you plant at The Proving Grounds or is all of it dedicated to food plots?

Ronald,

About three percent of The Proving Grounds is level enough to establish food plots.  Hence, all the crops planted at The Proving Grounds are dedicated to feeding wildlife.  Even if I wanted to, it would be very difficult to harvest the crops, because of the topography, except by hand.  Besides, it’s more fun, and probably more practical to allow the deer to consume the crops, and then let my family consume the deer!

Growing Deer together,

Grant
