I took the MTA and the 3-bottom and plowed up the back of the hayfield and put in some punkin seeds by hand to see if the wildlife would allow them to grow. So far they are more interested in the grass/alfalfa at the front of the field. That test passed, we would like to put about five acres of field or indian corn back there in the spring and use it to help supplement our poultry feed.

I am open to any advice you can give me.
