Duck Plot Site Selection:

Site selection in critical for success when planting for ducks and other waterfowl. Ducks and geese are naturally attracted to water, and use these water sources to locate food. Ducks are mostly herbivores, and normally consume grasses, seeds, fruits, acorns and aquatic plants. Be sure to find a location near a good water source, where they are naturally feeding, if possible.

Try to plant the food plot close to the water's edge and uphill from the water source. If you're able to control the water level, or know of areas that typically flood...these areas will work best. Most ducks prefer shallow-water feeding (6 to 18 in.) areas, so keep this in mind when selecting a site for your duck plot.

Be sure to prepare the soil as well as possible when you're planting a duck food plot. If the area is covered in debris, grasses, or weeds, the seed will have a tough time getting established and producing seed or feed. These plots should be planted along water edges, low areas, or flooding areas for best results. Plant in areas that will not flood along your water source or duck pond for best results. Till the soil, if possible, apply the seed, and drag or roll to cover. The seed species included in this mixture will survive flooding after they are established (16-24 in. in height). Flooding of these species in the early stages of growth will suffocate the plants. Hold the water off until the plants have reached full maturity (75-90 days), if possible, and then allow the water back in.
