Got out y-day and bush hogged the field that I planted with brown top millet

I’m not sure if it was mature or not (everything here was stunted with lack of rain in June and July)

Planning on putting out wheat this Wednesday.

My question is, should I disc some lines through the field?

So how are you getting away with putting wheat out? Saying it's for cattle/deer?

I bush hogged half of mine last week with it wet. I got a few doves coming. Thousands of pounds of seed on the ground because the millet really yielded a lot.

I would like to lower my bush hog as low as possible and hit it again but this rain is killing me. I have only had two days without rain over the last thirty.

I always roundup the field a week before to let it dry up. Way less debris after shredding

It never lets me down to read the persecution from the wanna be green jeans when a fella wants advice on a little ol’ dove field.

Only disc if you need the fire break or to facilitate broadcasting fresh grain. Important thing to remember is clean ground that’s easy for them to walk on with their little feet. Good luck!
