This was dirt two weeks ago. I didnt disk it. I built the little bridge in the pic out of a 5ft culvert cut in half. I scraped dirt up with my skidsteer to cover it and sowed seed on top of the ground ahead af a rain right after i finished. I rode over there and looked at it this morning and was amazed what a little rain did. Wheat, elbon rye, clover, winter peas photo host

Think timber company may hav sprayed my big field. The sprayed place to kill Undergrowth vegetation. They sprayed about 4 weeks ago. They sprayed my new field that i already had limed. I threw rye last week and my buck field is green and located in an area they did not spray. My 1 and 1/2 acre big field did not hav a sprig in it. Having a mud field all season sucks and it screws me over when it rains and i cant get to that field. Will not hold deer if that happens and i would not hav put up that large nice shooting house this year had i know that. 2 of my 4 green field will be mud and 1 of the 2 green fields with grass is in a bowl amd hard as heck to hunt!
Good times !! 😀 One of my biggest likes of deer season is seeing a beautiful green field - kind of sucks and i planted it twice 🤣🤣🤣

They hav been good to me and i really like my timber guy a lot - but i think hitting the big field could hav been a mistake.
I am fortunate to have the lease and the spraying will likely help the turkey hunting
Its possible that side of 250 acre side of the property missed the rain - but my buck field was already 3 - 4 inches high grass yesterday from the rye - 0 sprigs at big field and that stuff can grow on a cement driveway 😀
Even if it missed the rain - with rye i would think u still would see 1/2 inch sprigs just with the due on rye. Probably not on anything else - but rye probably would sprout. Maybe its just the rain that could hav missed.
The did tell me my new field would get hit and not make it. We will see on acre and 1/2 field

Weyerhaeuser We have a Weyerhaeuser lease that will soon be partially clear cut , we have some small plots in. Have you had any experience with newly planted pines ? I know the lease says they will plant all openings except natural openings unless paid for.

Let's go back to NO RAIN = thin plots that will soon look like dirt patches if you have any sizeable deer herd.
Look at the pictures posted in this thread for reference. That's how they look when you don't plant enough seed in a drought.
I do like Jwalker's little woods plot.... that will actually work. I put a few of those in every year with a leaf blower and a bag of seed. I just don't do it until after the leaves are down.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Looking good Matt and Walker. Mne have started greening up good from the overseeding and the orginal plantings. The recent rains have helped a lot. I plan on adding a little fertilizer today before the rain.
To God Be The Glory!

Checked the rain gauge before work and it was showing 1.5 inches from last night. It's still raining so I expect 2 inches or so. Much needed.
