If I had small food plots of an acre or less kind of situation then I could see that being the case……But with these huge multi acre plots like he shows…..I look at that like having “X” amount of space to produce tier one plant species that cant be grown in those other locations…..Adding all of that lime and other soil amendments and raising the OM level up to 3-6%, etc produces different growing conditions that tends to produce better high end plant species from a nutrient standpoint….For example the teaweed I showed is just about nutritionally equivalent to soybeans and I dont tend to see it growing wild in many places…….

If I have a 5-10 acre field like some of these he shows to produce high end forage then I wouldn’t want to waste that space just to grow massive amounts of clover that doesn’t get utilized by the deer…..I think you could be pumping more high end forage into the herd if you offered them more variety……I mean its sort of like if we had a big garden and we used it to grow all tomatoes and we ended up with 1000 quarts more tomatoes than what we had use for……Someone might say…..”Hey why don’t we use some of that space to grow some corn and beans too and few less tomatoes”
