Well, we timed it perfect this year. Had our plots mowed and tilled and waiting on rain. We picked a Friday and commenced planting. Got all our seed and fertilizer in the ground. That night and the next day got good rain (this was about a month ago).
Our property is about 2 miles long and up to 3/4 mile wide. We planted about 10 plots from one end to the other.
The next weekend we were hoping to see some germination, instead most of our plots looked like you had ran the harrows over them again. The hogs had rooted up big areas in each plot, and wiping out a couple of the smaller plots all together.
I thought last year was a fluke because of no rain, but we had cameras on plots this year (NO FEEDERS IN SOME) and the hogs spent all night in some of them.
Just thought that was alot of work for such small seeds (wheat, oats, rye).
we are so aggravated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
