There was a skid on clearance back about 3 weeks ago. I have no idea if there's any left or not. Most likely wishful thinking on my part.

With all the rain that's falling around here, this is probably a moot point, but:
An acre foot of water (the water that is needed to cover an acre of land in 12" of water) is 325,900 gallons.
So, if someone wants to water their food plot, they better have a fire hose! I believe turf requires 1" of water a week. For an example, using a 1/4 acre food plot (an acre is 43,560 sq. ft) it would take 6789 gallons of water to put 1" of water on that 1/4 acre......
I don't know what the water requirements are of the different plants that make up our common food plots.

After this weekend I won't be back there any more until archery season starts. I've got some clean up to do and pull my soap socks.  |

When we plant a new landscape or install a lawn we generally tell the client 1" of water per week is what they need.... But I have yet to figure out how to measure what's coming out the end of a hose!
For a food plot, if you can water it somewhat easily, water it like a new lawn: small amounts often at first to keep the moisture with the seed for germination, then after germination water "deep and infrequently". IOW, get the water deep into the soil profile so the roots will go down to it and develop to be strong and able to withstand droughty conditions.
esshup gave some good numbers, but if you have a basic understanding of math, all you need to know is one cubic foot of water is equivalent to 7.48 gallons.

Thats the problem with this plot, it's 1/2 mile from my house or any thing. Any water that is sprayed is done so with my little sprayer on my 4 wheeler.
