Lime and fertilizer
« on: April 16, 2019, 04:04:56 PM »
Does it affect turkeys coming to a field after a farmer lays down lime and fertilizer? And if so, for how long? Thanks

I'm going to say no there sense of smell is minimal.I guess the lime could impact their feet but I don't thinknit would stop them from crossing.

Never farmed, but I’ve noticed no difference on food plots.

What matters is how it affects the bugs.
