To begin with August was much drier than normal, but we planted out 40 acres of food plots mainly of grain mix and brassica strips. Interesting enough we did about 1/2 via conventional tillage and the remainder no-til with a Great Plains unit. Since then we have had only 0.44" of rain and none insight for the next 2 weeks. We are not behind 9+ inches in our total annual rainfall. Most of the plots came up but the no-til ones have held up the best. The conventional tillage came up but are fast fading. Some are just about bare dirt.. I re drilled via no-til about 7 acres and it did come up 2 wks ago. I had planned to put some additional nitrogen out, but with no rain in the forecast, I will sit tight for now. Believe me, it is no fun to see all your hard work dying off for lack of rain.We have a great mast crop and all the deer seem to be in the woods on acorns.
