Fall plots in no rain since

[Charleston Treeman]

Finally got some moisture. .14 inches. That's all we have had so far this month. Looks like more rain in the forecast so fingers crissed.

Couldn't make it to the ranch last weekend so I made a quick run out yesterday after work to check the plots. Mostly looking good, really need a bit more rain though. The drilled plots look to have a good start. Where I broadcast into beans is thin so far, I was trying to avoid running over the beans with the drill. ..next time I'll do like Baker and sacrifice a few beans for better germination of my fall plots.

First two pics are wheat, oats, radish & clover.

Last 3 are rye & mix.

Didn't get pics of where I broadcast in beans, may post some later in the ugliest food plot thread.

Good to see those rows popping up

We finished planting 118 acres last Sunday morning. Were in a white hot rush to beat the rain which never came. The 10 day forecast shows nothing. Nonetheless the fields planted in rye are all up. Will be interesting to see if the wheat/clover plantings do anything.

We finished the last of our plots this past Sunday morning planting wheat and clover around the perimeter just ahead of the rain. Got more than 2 inches of rain since planting. Brassicas were planted around the 10th of September ahead of Irma. Grains n clover in other plots were planted around the 21st of September just after Irma with plenty of moisture in the ground. Timed it all just right this year on the rain events.

Here's a pic of what our plots looked like November 2016...pathetic. Horrible drought last year.


Same plot last week.




Our horse shoe plot planted in durana and ladino clover with wheat as a nurse crop.


Lower Lower plot planted in Buck Forage Oats


Upper lower plot planted in Buck Forage Oats.


Bean field looking south planted in brassicas in the interior, clover and wheat around the perimeter. These should really take off with the rain we've had since sunday.

Beautiful! Great when the timing works. Love the gobblers strutting across the field.

Maybe its just me but lush plots make me feel good.

I can't imagine planting 118 acres. You need a bigger drill, I've got an old worn out 10' haybuster I'd have a 15' if I could get it up the roads and I'm only planting 22 acres. The rye I planted has our preformed the wheat as far as early germ & growth. Hopefully the wheat makes up for it in use.

Agreed. Nothing like a good dose of accomplishment feedback from Mother Nature when she delivers timely rains.

Rain or lack of can make a zero look like a hero and vice versa...if it rains timely my plots look amazing but if it doesn't then...well...not so much...

Agreed, timely would have been last week. Looks like a chance Sun, high hopes again.

Our rain chances have also dropped to 25% Sunday. Nothing in the 15 day forecast over 25%. No rain here since end of August.

Well I figured out a way to get some rain. Since it hadn't rained since some time in Aug, I rented an excavator to get the site ready for my pole barn. Wouldn't you know it.



Now let's see if there's still some seed lying in wait for that moisture...

 

[G3 Ranch]

Good you got some rain, we're you able to get the barn started?

We got .67" Fri night, glad to get it

Barn still a couple of months out. It's been put into action though so I'm in the queue.

My foodplot has germinated as well. Seed was sitting patiently waiting for that moisture...
