PLOT DISSAPOINTMENT

[Mackie889]

Here's what I have popping up. Planted a fall mix w/ a few soybeans thrown in on 10/6 before the 1+" of rain we got on the 12th. Looks like the rye and/ or oats and a few soybeans are the only thing popping up. Come on rain!!

What a great deal when you know the farmer is gonna stay off of your strip.

I like it!!!!

I’ll post up some pics this weekend.

I have oats, ladino, MRC and brassicas up pretty good.

Deer are livid about it too - and intent on rearranging the house for me.

Disked up the rest of the plots last weekend and gonna drill em up this weekend.

best of luck to all.

That one is a little thin and crispy on the high end, but still lush on the lower 2/3. Could sure use some rain. Sat there yesterday afternoon and watched a herd of does mowing it.

Got my wheat and brassicas in early Sept week after Labor Day. Got enough rain to get it up but it's only had 0.5 inches over the past 4 weeks/ So it's struggling.

However, last night it paid off. My youngest son started calling me at work as soon as school was out wanting me to take him hunting.

Got home, made a pot of chili while he did homework, and to the field we went.

Neighboring property is building a home right up on the property line to our farm so 150 yards behind us we had hammers/saws/nailguns/loud hispanic music so I held out little hope.

But a buck came out right at the end of shooting light and he made it count. Only his second deer.

And that’s how it is done. Congratulations to the young man

A crappy year for our food plots is a great year for peanut and cotton farmers. Hate it for us plotters but happy for the farmers.

Y'all will be in the stands Saturday and I'll be picking a peanut trial with a week break before the cotton.

If it helps, all I saw were tree rats.

Other than maybe having to water to be able to flip those goobers you couldn’t ask for better pnut and cotton picking weather.

About made me want to cry ?

A tuff year, all the way around! I burned down the plots, with glyphosate, which I hadn't been to in 5 months, the end of August. We had 1/4" of rain in September and 3/4" after Ian came thru.

Last week I spread my 3 clovers, wheat, radish, turnips and rape, then ran the cultipacker over everything.



I was happy to find some medium red clover still growing, with it's longer tap root. The deer were using it too.



And since I no mow no more, and let the clover go to seed, the next generation of clover, after the 3/4" of rain and cooler temperatures has germinated.

I planted back in the beginning of September because that’s when I had help.
Just one rain since. But the girls still like it.

Another rain and mine will be ok. Got bare spots spars in areas and sone looks like it should. Frost killed back the weeds in them.

Drilled plots September 27th in anticipation of rain from Hurricane Ian, no luck out of that. Morning dew and the rain on October 12th (>1in) seems to have done ok so far. Looking at some potential rain for upcoming weekend. NE Muscogee County
