November 4th is to late

Neighbor up the road just planted his yesterday, getter done

sounds similar to mine over in Burnet county ... not sure about those in Limestone or Washington counties

I still haven't planted, don't like the heat. I'm glad I didn't, my plots have started to grow bahia and redroot pigweed since the rain earlier this week andI would have lost my plots. A couple of months ago I bought a Kubota B2650 to mow the 9 acres of "yard" around my ranch house, I used it to spray, and it worked very well. My plots are still damp from the rain, and it is 2 tons lighter than my M8540 which I would not have put on the field. Also, my boom sprayer has a 20' print, and the B2650 can make a 180° turn within the confines of the next pass which the larger tractor cannot so it saved quite a bit of time in the long run.

Really like that little tractor.

Your post is why the original question is kind of “it depends” because isnit too late depends on where you live and what your conditions are. Texas is way too big for everyone to do everything the same. We all know that.

I was fortunate. My plots seem to have come up well. Dealing with a little heat here and there but it looks to be colling off up here in the next week so the weather may end up perfect for my plots. Once I get out there I plan to update my thread and get some pics going.

Peas , oats, and rye coming in. Small observation plot near barn looks best, but largest plot also turning green, but grass growing in again. I was hoping for more rain with this front, but just got a trace overnight. Really hope we get some moisture, but nothing in forecast.w
