Mowing the last of the bean /pea fields today. This one is pearl millet and soy beans.The mower only takes the tops out of the soy beans so they stay alive and are going to bean now. Deer will continue to hit the field till I spray it prior to fall planting. The millet makes for great organic matter and weed suppression. I thought it might attract some doves but haven't seen that yet.
Will put this field back in Elbon rye for fall with expected planting date around end of Sept or early Oct. depending on moisture.

We planted some seed last weekend. We still haven't had any rain, and it's dry and hot. How long will seeds last before they become "dead", waiting on rain?

No Elbon rye here either. I'm taking a chance with the Rhymin rye. Understand it may not get quite as tall . Will report results. Going with 100 lbs wheat, 50 lbs rye /acre cause the wheat is 1/3 the cost of rye. To that I'll add various other plants like radishes, clovers, Austrian winter peas etc.
