How to plant an inexpensive wildlife food plot on your property

What happens here

Attach a drag chain harrow to the hitch of your UTV or Gator. An extension might be needed on the hitch to ensure the drag harrow is positioned correctly and does not interfere with the vehicle. Drive the UTV/Gator across the entire food plot, pulling the drag chain harrow to further smooth and level the seedbed. This final pass helps to ensure even contact between the seeds and soil, promoting consistent germination and a uniform stand.

Goal: Smooth and level the seedbed for optimal seed-to-soil contact

Tools and materials

  • Drag Chain Harrow Northern Tool — Smoothing and leveling the prepared soil
  • Hitch Extension — Extending the hitch connection for the drag harrow to prevent interference with the UTV/Gator
  • UTV/Gator John Deere — Pulling the drag chain harrow
