Whoooopppppeeeeee!!
1st time in 4 seasons, the weatherman had it rain when it was suppose to and my food plot is up and goin!
I got back from MI last Tuesday night(Wednesday morn.) at 3am and to bed at 4am, up at 7:30 and disc my 1 1/4 acres 2 times (still hard small spots that weren't worked) ..spread 200# of wheat seed and drag spiked it and planted 50#'s of rye and 25#'s of crimson clover and spiked again and then got .9" of rain on Thursday from Harvey.
Got another 1" of rain between yesterday and the day before. Click on the top pic and you can see my raised blind for "Old Man Huntin' "
It should be good growing to keep ahead of all the deer & turkey feeding .. maybe???
I C the 5 young turkey's up there each morning before they head up the drive to scratch in my straw on my new seeded grass
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM .. now I wonder about IRMA????

Re: Whoooopppppeeeeee!!
Here's the plot I have going. Oats and whatever else was in the bag got scattered
Re: Whoooopppppeeeeee!!
Alright. I'm gonna do the same then. I just thought maybe the wheat would drown out the other stuff. But since your name is Soiltester then I'm certain you know your stuff when it comes to that. I'm gonna do the same then in about 2 weeks. Was just wondering.soiltester wrote: ↑September 7th, 2017, 6:31 pmThat'd B a yes .. and didn't bother with purple top turnips & other's, as it's been a miserable last 3 years .. and seed costly

I hope you have enough planted
The 5 "big" young chicks here, from this spring, just feed on the food plot, then to the straw covered grass seed
