With the current forecast, what yall thinking on planting?

My fields will be ready to go tommorrow and will get planted next solid rain event or when it gets dry enough I can “dust” them in without worrying they will germijate

gonna plant saturday

I planted 7 acres just outside Andalusia behind the rain we got off Helene. Plenty of moisture and caught another rain a few days ago. Still have a lot left to plant middle of the month but got that 7 acres off my plate.

I will get the fields ready to plant, but no seed or fertilizer until several decent rain chances in forecast.

Planted mine at the house a couple weeks ago, we have had several good rains on it. It is located just above a river bottom and gets plenty of morning dews.. looks good so far but will top sow some clover and fert when we get another chance of rain

Planted behind the house 3 weeks ago right ahead of a rain and it’s looking pretty good

I planted last weekend, friday, saturday and sunday. Went out and broadcast cereal rye and fertilizer and disked it under the moist soil. That is all coming up and doing well. I am holding off on the brassica's and clover until I know more rain is coming. I hit every field I planned on putting clover on with 0-46-0 ahead of the last rain, so that has helped too.

The longer you wait to put brassicas in the ground the less likely you are to see any growth. Brassicas need to be planted early.

I’ve done decided to hell with the rain. I’m doing hay and I won’t worry about planting until later on when and if it starts raining. If not then I’ll hunt over corn.

I planted this past weekend. We haven’t had any rain at my place in 3 months so I covered everything deep and it will be there whenever it does rain. I’ve done it several times like this and never had a problem. It’s the same as being in the bag if there is no moisture in the ground

I planted this past weekend as well. Turkeys have found it but I dragged over it. We didn’t have rain for over a month last year and it came up fine. Be nice to have some though lol

I dont think we get rain the next 3 weeks

Then December we will get rain everyday and will not even be able to go use roads cause to wet even for a polaris

I will hit my miserable fields with some clover that i had left over right before a rain which prob be a month from now - typical 😀

Cant hav nothing

I never worry about planting until November . Same ol dry october almost every yr

I had about a half inch of rain at one of my spots last Friday. Almost planted the next day but came to my senses and waited. Come on November...

I planted a 3 acre plot that stays wet all hunting season on 10/1 and got 1/4-1/2" rain on 10/4. I used T&M method and had good layer of thatch so not really worried about it. Wheat is about 2" tall and there's still moisture in the ground. Unfortunately, I have to plant the rest of my fields this weekend as I will not have another free weekend until 11/16 due to travel baseball tourneys and 2 trips. Fingers crossed.

We will probably just hunt over the corn feeders early and about Feb 1st when it matters for us..... the fields will be looking like a John Deere green wheat and oats buffet.

Be about 30 deer out there.


Yep.... not in a hurry.

If you plant into this drought you will probably have issues. Still can't get my head around planting early. Deer prefer the tender young growth. When you have a drought the plants get stemy and tough that's just biology which some of you all claim you have an expert degree in. But you don't know how to apply what you have learned apparently. I have a degree in 2 areas.... #1 common sense. That's key. #2 identifying some BS. Also very helpful when dealing with "experts" on various subjects. Planting seeds that will germinate in my pickup truck bed is just one of those subjects.

What do u care know it all? Never mind - u too stupid to converse with - u earned a degree in peckerhead

I know i should not post this - but why be a prick? I was in a club in s bama that planted last weekend of sept for decades - i was in it over a decade and it didnt work out once. We still threw seed and had fields and it was the best club i ever been in that might hav 3-4 good racks laying on the ground opening gun weekend. The deer were half tame and what your numb nutted butt don't know or ever comprehend - opening weekend if the weather right and u hav stayed out of the fields - can be way - way more successful/successful than the rut - ya dip!!!

As long as the seed is covered it will be fine. Every year we go through this same sound and dance. It's food plots not a fraking corn field
