Is it to late to plant millet and have it come up before the season? The water level at my lease is low and there is a fair amount of moist soil exposed.

Nope.

Thanks

If its too hot, upper 90's the sprouts will burn up and die. Thats the problem you will run into this time of year. If the temps drop and highs stay around 90 you'll probably be ok.

We plan to plant it tomorrow so maybe by the time the sprouts come up it will have cooled down.

Okay for bonus points...

Is it too late to plant millet (via broadcast and drag, not a drill) and still hunt there for the teal opener?

does millet sink or float?

as far as planting now, depends on type of millet. jap millet will mature in 45 days. Mid to late oct we will have our first freeze. Browntop is 60 day maturity. with the cooler nights and shorter photo periods the stalks on jap will send up seed head much sooner than typical. depending on your present water level maybe a good or bad thing.

also it will stay good and greeen, them seeds will flote so be careful where you put them,I've been spraying this year to kill some millet where the seeds floted into the yard after a bag was spilled in the back of my truck last year.you can't really stop this stuff after it gets started. btw I broadcasted the seed last year on 31 Aug then it rain two days latter and was green by the end of the first week never stoped from there

if you just broadcasted seed on the muddy banks of a pond, would the plants come up?

some of it might,but it's better to drag over the seed to lightly cover it, small piece of chain link pulled behind a ATV works pretty good

Does anybody know the maturity on dove proso millet? I planted some earlier this summer but I think i planted it way to early

Yes, wet soil works well.

Wet soil is all you need!!!

At one spot I sprayed and killed existing vegetation and then just threw seeds out on the muddy bank. Other places just threw out on the bank. We did this in early June and they sprouted within 3 days and the jap millet is way past mature and dropping seeds. The seeds they are dropping are sprouting so I have new plants now and I take seeds from the old plants and spread them on the new exposed bank.

The seeds we did try to cover by dragging never did sprout so I wouldn't recommend it on mud.

The coons got to one of my spots and the cows got to some others but if you can keep the critters off of it there is no easier way to do it. Just throw the seeds out and watch them grow.

All great info but what about the concept of throwing seed and hunting teal in 14 days.

Law states all bait must be removed 10 days prior so I unless every seed was sprouted in 3 days I think that I would technically be in violation.
