An excellent crash course in understanding and avoiding costly mistakes while developing your food plots!

I was impressed. Great lesson on the biology aspect of it. Makes a lot more sense to me now. By watching this I realized how much money I was actually wasting on fertilizer. Good examples on available equipment. I am a visual learner. Do more visuals during the soil sample test explanation, especially the math part. Just because I never learned it before. Visuals help novices learn quicker. Would like to see a part on matching the plants to the soil type. Examples of what may grow best in certain areas. I know its not fool proof but just some ideas.

Wow, what a plethora of knowledge. I've worked on some of these projects with Steve and can tell you that each time I've walked away with a better understanding as to how others just do it wrong. If you only take away 1/2 of the information presented here, you'll find yourself walking through lush greens and hear racks cracking in the woods! If you are serious about wildlife and improving your land, DO your homework and listen to experts.

You won't find any videos on YouTube that are this in-depth. Everything you ever wanted/needed to know about food plots is covered. I realized how much I didn't know about planting and maintaining food plots. I wish this was available when I started planting food plots. I would have saved thousands of dollars and cut years of my learning curve.

This course is outstanding. Just the maps on Locating Suitable Soil are worth the price of the course. Detailed, fascinating information. –Prof. J. M. R.
