Welcome to Crawford Farms
Our Adams County farm in the hills of southern Ohio provides a unique
combination of crop fields, permanent pastures and woodlands. The 800 acre
hunting property is situated on a 2 mile long, dead end, county road. There are
very few acres of other cropland in the immediate area so our farm is prime
habitat to deer, turkey and other wildlife. The land which surrounds our farm is
mostly wooded. The owners of neighboring properties allow very little hunting and
in many instances, no hunting at all.
Our main crop rotation is corn, followed by winter wheat, followed by clover/grass
hay, providing deer and turkey year round feeding opportunities. In addition we
raise beef cattle.
Woodlands make up about 65% of the farm and are mostly mixed hardwood with
several scattered thickets of eastern red cedar. A large number and many
varieties of oaks are found throughout the woodlands. The woodlands border and
in some cases surround the crop fields providing many travel funnels for our deer.
Small (1/2 to 3/4 acre) dedicated food plots have been established using the
products of nationally recognized producers of food plot seed.
The terrain is very hilly with the small crop fields located on the main ridge of the
farm and the woodlands mostly downhill from the crop and pasture fields. There
is a difference in elevation of about 300 feet from the highest ridge to the deepest
hollow, with many smaller backbones and hollows in between.
