Won’t be long now.

Counting the days. All the hours on the tractor in jan, feb, March, April, and May will be worth it in a few weeks.

Field 1 is a natig vrestoration project of native sunflowers. 2 years of plowing the natives under. Plow in December and Plow in feb and spray grass with intensity/herbimax in April and June. 40 acre Field is 60% re-established and should be 100% next year. Overdrilled witj 15 lbs/acre of peredovik seed for a killer understory and y’all natives. After that, continue plow schedule and fertilize every third year.





Field 2. This 5 acre field was Plowed March 1. Sprayed with roundup at 24 oz/acre March 24 to kill all growth. Peredovik sunflowers drilled at 15 lbs/acre. #14 setting on the JD 8400 drill. Sprayed with 24 oz/acre of intensity and 6.4 oz/acre herbimax for johnson/grass control late May.




Field three- 4 acre dove buffet!!!

Plowed/planted in wheat/oats in October. Replowed in March with no spray. Drilled peredovik with 5 lbs/acre giant sunflower mixed in in March. Sprayed herbimax/intensity late May. Great mix of peredovik, native, giant SF, and wheat. Dove buffet. Field was loaded with white wings today.

And momma loves a fresh bouquet each week.

THANK YOU

Those plants are getting me pumped

That will do!

You've been one of the lucky one's that's received some decent rain. Looking good

When do you normally start shredding yours? I leave my peredovik standing because the white wings prefer to stand on them and pick seeds out. This is my first year to have a great stand of natives.

I start cutting lanes about 20 days before season. Then when season starts I'll cut a few more about every third week. By the time season is over the fields are 75% cut down.

beautiful pictures of the healthy sunflower fields. Excellent harvest.

Looks gr8

Man if I was a dove, I would be eating all that!

Mine aren't looking that good lack of rain

This is a problem. I’ve got about 500 white wings hitting the fields 2x/day. They sit on the heads pick the seed. I may not have much left by September 1.

^^ That's a pretty sight! Hope they leave some behind for the rest of em!

Depredation permit?
