Yep wheat can "drown". It starts turning yellow and then will die. Waterlogging causes the roots to stop absorbing nutrients...then photosynthesis stops....etc... its a mess. That is a crazy amount of rain in a month.
Does the same thing occur with oats and most winter plots? Or just oats?
UF, I've been keeping up with your progress for a year or so now. Lots of helpful info. Congrats on all your success. We will meet soon I'm sure. My son attends school with your daughter. They will be in the Christmas play together! Would love to buy you a beer and pick your brain!

Thanks very much. Our wives know each other very well!
Will try to find you at the Christmas play and meet up!
Was in Kansas last weekend and had this dude running deer all over my plot, go figure! the rain and a little fertilizer has the plot going crazy and the deer are keeping it mowed down. Love this food plot gig.
From what I've read and experienced Oats are more tolerant of standing water.
Agreed. I have a small amount of Rye on one end of my plot starting to yellow. Yet in the plot across the pasture where it is equally as saturated the oats are still green as can be! Also finding signs of lots of traffic in both plots.
I had this deer on camera this weekend. I thought I would ask what you guys think of the red hole in his neck. Should I take this deer for fear of him dying? He's not on our shooter list this year.

Wow, that is wicked. He appears to be in good health otherwise and from the pic it doesn't appear that there is any drainage which should mean that the wound is healing. If so, then he may already be in the clear from getting fever like they will sometimes do when they break a leg. I wouldn't take him down just because of his injury. It looks like it is in just in the muscle and not into his throat. So if he has gotten through this far, then he will likely make it as long as no serious infection sets in. Deer are extremely tough, think about all the deer that are likely walking around with arrow shafts broke off in their chest cavities and a single functional lung.
