Got everything planted and cultipacked Friday. Got some rain Saturday. New batteries and sd cards in the cameras. Filled protien feeders. Will top off corn feeders in two weeks.

We had projected rains for a 5 day period over last week into this week in the 60-20% range, got .09. I planted on the front of the prediction just to see some folks on the Red river get pounded with rain..

Not yet, still temp is still 80 degrees. Need it to drop a few before broadcasting, but disced up aced ready to go.

Planted two plots 9/26/19. One plot with winter peas and the other with rye. Just waiting on some rain now.

No lime in fertilizer.

Planted 10 days ago just before 1/2 rain in East Texas. Got oats and winter peas in the ground and they are coming up today. Now I need a little more rain but none forecasted for next two weeks.

Still to hot and no follow up rains since I had .70" last week on Monday. Chances everyday and showers around me but none here. If it does rain at least .50" and hopefully more the next 3-4 days I will probably plant within a week of the last rain. If not I will still plant around Oct 10th or right before the next chance of rain.

Got 4 smaller plots done with Justin/turner fall deer mix with clover this past weekend. Watched as the weather brought the chances of rain sat/sun from 40% both days to nothing. Showing a chance of rain for Thursday, and again next week. I hope it rains soon. Don’t want it sitting for too long in the dirt.

I did seed very heavy expecting some loss due to birds, animals, and dryness. We’ll see how’s it comes up.

Here's a neat website for y'all. Has soil temps and a lot of other stuff.

I planted all my plots in wheat this last weekend. I haven't seen any signs of army worms yet and several of the neighbors already have big green wheat fields. Crossing my fingers. My rain gauge had 4 " when I got there so there should be plenty of moisture in the ground.

I have a cell cam on one of my plots. Pretty much hogs 24/7 rooting up all my cowpeas. I planted one day, they started rooting up the next. I went back and threw out a bunch of clover, rape etc., small seeds thinking the hogs would stomp in the ground. Clover and rape are to small for hogs to pick up, best I can tell.

Well clover and rape are not too small for Turkey's.........................big flock came and set up camp on the small seeds.

Pretty much write that plot off. I have a couple more plots maybe they will survive, provided it rains in East Texas someday.

I am not considering it any time soon. I'm in southern DeWitt County, and the rain has been thin. I keep very detailed rainfall records, 15 years worth, and we are way behind. Eastern Goliad has had some rain, but it runs out before hitting DeWitt County.



The bad thing is that we missed our typical rain spike in September. That rain will not be replaced through the winter. With armyworms yet ahead, I'm shooting toward the end of October. I don't hunt my food plots; they are for December through February. If ANYTHING comes up, it will be annihilated. I'm going to try to work in time with acorns and pecans hitting the ground, I have a bumper crop. I plan to plant about 7 to 10 days ahead of a front so that the mast will be knocked on the ground for consumption. Anything green sticking its head out of dirt will be snipped off otherwise.

Oh, this is the driest year I've had in 15 years.

Let us know how it works out.

we planted in dust and haven't gotten any measurable rains yet ... will just have to wait and see from here on out ...

Just planted 10 acres with a Turner Seed Top Notch Wildlife Mix yesterday. Hoping that the arrival of the cold front today produces the light rain that is predicted.

Planted winter peas on a plot and winter rye on another after liming in Freestone Co. last week. Looks like we will get some rain this evening. Good luck everyone!

Looks like we may be planting in next couple of weeks. Too dry to disc right now. Whatever, this is Texas.

I am going to risk it and either plant Tues or Thursday morning this week. I have a 40% chance of rain for Friday and 20% Thur. and Friday nights. After that it is not looking good. I can always replant later on if needed.

Rain completely missed my ranch and my house. Next good chance is end of week. Then several chances after the following week. I know some folks got some rain today, but I wasn’t one of them. Bummed but it’s all good. Cool weather means we might have some deer showing up when we hunt for the first time next weekend.

Finally got some moisture, will be plowing and planting this weekend. Have had my seed and fertilizer for about a month now. This is the latest I have ever planted . Might be a good thing though, last year the army worms and hogs, wiped out half my crop. Have a thermal scope this year for the hogs. Just hope the army worms are on vacation.

I mowed and over seeded a small area with rye grass today and will be interested to see how it comes out. I followed an approach someone suggested here that included using the grass clippings to add a little cover for the seed. With warm days and good chances of rain most of next week, the timing should be perfect. It's located at the edge of a pasture that borders a thick bedding area, both of which are on a tract that's never been hunted. I'm thinking there may be no telling what may walk out late on a cold, late November or early December evening.

I got all my plots in this weekend after .25" moisture followed by .5". Hopefully they work out!

I've had mine planted for 2 weeks. Got 2.5 yesterday. Should be coming up this week.

Drilled mine in a bit deeper than usual on Tuesday morning. Got a .18" on mine and hope that is not enough to sprout the seed.
