Got my *** kicked last year planting 100 acers of Trophy Forage mix and not a single thing came up. Thinking of just fallow disking this year. Might plant rye grass in November if we get a weather pattern change but haven't decided yet.

I had a couple plots that needed lime, got that out on Saturday. I disced one of them in yesterday, it was as dry as a popcorn fart. The other has to wait until Thursday because I have folks working in the house today and tomorrow. I have no doubt it will be dry too.

I planted one plot on Sept 17th, got a little shower on it the next day, just enough to get it to sprout, but I don't think it was enough to keep it going, it's looking pretty sad. Planted two more the following weekend, they haven't had a drop of moisture on them yet. I've been told that oats will last a good while waiting on rain, I sure hope that's right.

East Tx… our plots are disced and ready to go. We have stopped planting in September (I remember back in the day when that was something one wasted a Labor Day weekend doing. The last several years we haven’t done it until the first week of October and we’re going to make the decision this weekend if it makes sense or to wait.
We have definitely backed off tossing a lot of money into food plots…. The best part of the season in Polk County is long over before they really start turning to Plots. It is however nice to know that the deer have something in January and February and thsts why we continue to do it.
