In this episode, we'll take you to one of our soybean food plots that happened to be at a critical point. We'll show you what you'll need and where to source the materials required to protect any food plot that you'd like to keep in your back pocket until hunting season.

our mission

NCPA Outdoors' mission is to help hunters, sportsmen, fishermen, outdoorsmen (and women!) overcome the many challenges that go along with hunting, farming, fishing, gardening, backwoods, self-sustenance and outdoorsmanship skills. One of the ways we plan to do this is by thoroughly documenting our own success and failures along the way and then providing them as a resource to you, our fellow outdoorsmen.

As we share this information, we’ll look to those same individuals for not just their comments and questions, but also their suggestions, ideas and areas of concern that they have on various topics. We’ll accomplish this through our discussion forum which will allow the open exchange of dialogue, thereby promoting the further advancement of NCPA Outdoors mission.
