Plant or don’t plant??

[No peekin]

We planted all ours this weekend in Screven county, I’d get it in the ground.

Hope you can keep the feral pigs out of those p- nuts.

Huh ?

Huh ?

Boondocks said it was going to rain because it's p- nut season..

I just said I hope he could keep the hogs out of them. If they find a p- nut patch, they will eat the whole thing in a few weeks.

Down around Blakely where he’s from there are many thousands of acres of peanuts.

No pigs on my farm. Thank God ! They are some around though.

We planted this past weekend in Talbot, ground was really dry but I have no choice but to plant now since my schedule may not allow me to get down there to plant in the next 2 weekends. Plus our club rule is to have them done the Friday before muzzleloader opener. Not much of rain the next 10 days but like was mentioned before they sure won't come in a bag sitting at my house.

I planted this past weekend (09/23), as of now, still no rain in the forecast, at best that means 2+ weeks after planting without rain. How long will the seed last in the ground without rain and still come up once rain finally shows up?

A very long time if it doesnt get wet or eaten by birds.

My plots are going in this weekend, as I have no other choices. The seed will sit in the ground for a good long while, but one of the most important things is to not skimp on seed and pack the seed if you can, under these dry conditions.

4-5 yrs. ago when we had dry conditions in Oct. we planted and the seed sat on the ground for almost 5 weeks before rain came and it still came up. Some seed loss will happen from birds but I didn't have a choice but to plant last weekend due to time constraints.

I got blessed with the rains the past two days on my place in Emanuel Co. It wasn't a soaker but enough to help get the ball rolling. The GFS model is calling for a big front to roll through the state next Friday. Not sure if any of you use Tropical tidbits but it is a good website for future forecasting etc. Whoever hasn't planted I would go ahead and roll with it this week.

Get the big fan out and point it in the direction, west of Macon, please!

We are in meriwether also. We aren’t planting until more rain is in the forecast regardless when that is.. we have about 10 acres we will be planting with a nesco no till drill.. seen folks that have plant and plant to early either army worms get them or they germinate come up and then burn up. One of our members lives close and can plany any day of the week. So no worries for us on not being able to do it

Yep. I never worried about army worms until they hit me. Normally I planted the weekend of opening day for archery. I changed up and now I'm a late September planter.

I keep thinking I'll spring for a cultipacker but then I don't do it. So far, so good.

Mine is planted. Intended to wait until next week, but with showers forecasted I went ahead. Showers never made it this far.

I've planted the first week of Oct. and not had rain until Dec. and it still did fine. Not worried about it.

 

[kmckinnie]

I planted a couple. No rain. So I planted the garden winter greens. Then turned on the sprinkler. That usually makes it rain. Not this time.

 

[Canuck5]

Just a little more info to consider. It applies to all "large" seeds like oats and cereal rye, as well.

I'm sure it does but my soil has a rock collection that would knock your socks off. Everything from pebbles to implement busting boulders.
