Spraying foodplots/homelawns(would or do u)

Im about to take the next step in my life by graduating college and accepting a pretty decent job offer(hopefully its still on the table for me LOL). Im sure most of you know but for those on here that dont know me, Im graduating with a degree in Turfgrass managment, and a minor Ornamental Pest Control. I will be continuing my career as a golf course superintendent(assistant first off out of school) as that has always been my dream since i was a little kid. Now for the question, I have always wanted to do a side buisness of consulting work for homeowners and maybe a small landscape company(one who knows very little about turf) and also some lawn spraying. With in the next month or so I will have already obtained my Restricted use Pesticide License as well as my commercial applicator license(required in my line of work). With this I will be able to purchase and apply pesticides and herbicides that the average Joe cant. The last month or so I have also been thinking about trying to spray some food plots and deer camp stuff as well as my other ideas with the homeowners. Now like I said this would be a part time/side job, mainly to support my hunting and fishing as my golf course job is still my dream job and primary source of income. Question is do you guys spray your food plots or have you ever thought about it but didnt have access to a sprayrig or chemicals? Not tryting to advertise or anything just wanting an honest opinion. I know anyone kind buy glyphosate ect.. but I can buy higher concentrations and will be a licensed applicator with top notch equipment. Just tossing the idea around.


Thanks for the response

Hey Duckkiller, have you ever been to this site? I'm a yard guru and find it real imformative...
http://www.lawnsite.com/

No I had never been to that one, there is a bunch of those sites. After sitting in a class room all morning I come home check this one and a duckhunting website and then usually go spend my nights in a Library study calibrations and insects and weeds. Im so ready for May to get here its not even funny. Atleast then I will be getting paid instead of paying to study pest

We use a grain drill for our food plots. We spray the plots to knock the weed back B4 we plant. With all the rain we had we had to spray twice this year. I dont hunt much anymore but I do put in the food plots and help my friends with theirs . I am the source for chicken litter so I have a lot of friends around planting time.
