We are hunting geese right now in an 80 acre plowed dry bean field with plowed levees in a 6 man pit blind right smack dab in the middle of both cuts and the blind is the only thing with grass around it. I feel like we would have a better chance at killing geese running around butt naked in the middle of the field throwing rocks at them. Geese will b-line to our decoys from a couple hundred yards out and sometimes we dont even have to call at them, then at about 100 yards they slow down and start flaring and hover over us at about 100 yards up, talk to us for a few secs and then haul arse in the opposite direction. It must have happened to 10 groups in a row yesterday.

Side note: just how pissed off would you guys be at the farmers for leasing property from them and then they dont set it up properly to hunt. I feel that all they would have had to do is not cut the fricking levees and we'd blend in pretty well. The head of the lease was up front about this and said "farming takes precedent" so we knew we may have a delay to our season going in, but we didnt anticipate going into fricking week 4 and have no water and a dry plowed field. These blinds are in Morse for what it's worth. Very frustrating because there are geese ALL OVER but always shy away from our blind.

Yea you're gonna have a bad time. The best is a plowed field on both sides. Levee mowed down real short with a sunk blind and short brush.

That or a layout in the middle of the field

How is the top of your blind covered? I would get rid of the grass around the pit. I wuld also try moving away from the pit. Cover it up and move to a spot away from it. It'll be harder to hide, but I did that exact same thing for years.
