I just acquired a small lease to myself this morning, mostly pines anout15/years old. Their are no food plots near it from what I can see on Google earth but a bunch of local farming for corn. I noticed the soil was kind of sandy. My question is does anybody know a summer / winter plott seed that might do pretty well in Sandy soil with medium sun?

go ahead and lime it now so that you are ready for fall. Everything else can wait if necessary but lime is the key if you want a good fall plot.

That's what I was thinking, it's not gonna be a huge plot but with the absence of winter food I wanna make it the best I can

Ag lime wont do anything to the ph for around 3 months so you need to get it down now to be ready for fall planting. Without a soil sample go 2 tons per acre if its sandy.

How large of a plot? I would do a soil sample and follow the directions. Unless its a large plot your not going to be able to lime it with a truck, they wont come out for small fields. Use pelleted lime, it works faster because of the particle size, plus sandy soil reacts faster with lime than clay soil. If you want to plant something this summer, go with buckwheat. It builds the soil and the deer wont decimate it. I would add milo or millet to add some carbon and also some tthatch for a fall planting. Come fall, plant a good mix of cereal grains,clover and brassica's. Most co-ops have some good generic blends that work well.

Maybe an acre at the most, I've never had to plant in sandy soil , we have good rich top soil where I'm from so I just wanna be sure and do it right, I don't plan on hunting it unless my boy is with me, just hunt around the perimeter and keep them using it, I hope

I would go ahead and get a soil sample off to auburn, then lime the hell out of it and plant something for the summer that will help build the soil. May want to check out CNC's threads on throw and mow.
