With his first novel, the thriller, The Dummy Line, author Bobby Cole becomes a welcome addition to the list of illustrious storytellers that call Mississippi home.

Adding lime? Add water and a soil tiller, too. Lime is best at neutralizing the soil's pH when it has maximum contact with the soil. Tilling does exactly that - and adequate soil moisture triggers the chemical reactions that regulate soil pH.

To make the most of your food plot, make the most of your wall calendar. BioLogic forage blends are developed for specific applications and specific regions of the country, and planting dates and instructions will vary depending on your location. Never assume that what works in the north will work in the south or anywhere in between. When in doubt, always check the bag or give us a call.

What about weeds? If you're a grower who notices some grasses coming up along with your perennial food plot, here's some good news. You can spray any type of herbicide that will not kill a broadleaf. Poast™ for example, will kill the grasses while allowing your BioLogic plot to flourish.

Pay attention to your pH! Most soils across the whitetails' range are acidic, which isn't good for food plot crop growth or nutritional value. Acidic soil reduces microbial and insect activity, eliminates helpful bacteria and traps critical fertilizer nutrients so the plants can't use them. A pH test will tell you how your soil measures up - and the addition of lime will turn acidic soil into a perfect bed for an effective food plot.

The big three. What makes a successful food plot crop? Certain characteristics will always vary depending on region, critter and time of year, but here's a basic rule of thumb: Forage must be palatable (so deer keep coming back), produce ample tonnage (so they can eat all they want), and be digestible (so it does their bodies good).

Good digestion takes guts. All critters are not created equal - a cow's stomach is designed to digest grass, the whitetail's belly isn't. That's what makes BioLogic crops stand out over standard forage - our blends are made so deer can efficiently digest the proteins and cell structure and gain maximum nutrition.

Help the plants put down roots. Ideally, a plant should be allowed to establish its root system and become browse-tolerant (not harmed by constant browsing) before it becomes palatable. This characteristic has been bred into BioLogic forage Brassicas. And our new Plot Protector protects blends not equipped to fend for themselves.

Low temp, high taste. While cold temperatures can reduce a plant's vitality and taste, BioLogic Brassicas are proven to remain palatable after several frosts and freezes, long after most clover varieties are "burned" by frost and unavailable to deer.

It's not how much crop there is, it's how much the critters eat that counts. Yield is measured in tonnage per acre of digestible forage produced, digestible being the key word here. For example, deer don't eat mature wheat or oat stalk - only the leafy portions, and only during their grass stage. So don't judge yield by quantity of forage a plot produces - judge it by the quantity a deer is going to eat!

Prepare your soil a month in advance. Since most whitetail habitat is acidic, the addition of lime is key to a healthy crop. For best results, apply lime well in advance of planting, so the soil has plenty of time to prepare itself for maximum productivity. About 30 days should do it.

Make the most of the least. On most hunting properties, the acreage that can be developed into food plots is limited. So you want to make sure your planting is as productive as it can be. Maintaining proper soil pH is essential - so test your soil, and take steps to correct any high acidic content as soon as you can.

A tip for hunters up north. When planting a food plot in northern climates, always make sure you plant with adequate soil moisture. Typically, early spring and fall plantings will be most successful.

Are New Zealand cultivars non-native? Yes, along with clover, alfalfa and wheat, these plants got their start in another place. But since they're non-invasive, they've joined those other crops as widely accepted to be beneficial to wildlife, agriculture and sporting interests.

Passing the test with flying cultivars. All BioLogic forage blends go through rigorous testing, including planting each individual cultivar in 100-acre test plots to determine it's growth characteristics. All BioLogic products have been approved for sale within the United States by several state and federal agencies.
