Food Plot Planting

We planted today. Almost caused a fight. Guy didn't buy enough fertilizer so instead of doing a few good plots I was out voted and they put 50 to 75lbs of fertilizer per acre.

We're gonna wait till the 1st or 2nd week of October. Hopefully we'll get some rain after that.

I tilled a small plot (1/8 acre) and it was a damn dust storm. We have had less than a 1/2" of rain on the lease over the last 6 months. I think I am going to wait until we get at least 2 inches of rain prior to even getting seed in the ground.

I may be planitng nothing but turnips and rye if the rain is too late and might not plant anything at all if the drought is continued.

Word from many of my friends in Texas was not good. Numerous ranches aren't seeing any fawns, and are really concerned that the drought has taken it's toll on this entire Freshmen class... Scary stuff.

many ranches are finding dead deer, small game, cattle, horses, and donkeys.

the county I live in is having difficulty with people intentionally releasing donkeys they can not pay to feed anylonger and all of our hay is now coming out of South Dakota and Alabama.

There is going to be a huge predator population this year.

That's exactly what I tried to tell them. Next time I'll buy it all myself and won't give them any say in it

Lol at the donkeys. There must be a wild population of them going around. Had one show up in my yard last year and a neighbor had 3 show up in his a few weeks ago
