I know that Labor Day Weekend, is the unofficial food plot planting weekend for about 2/3 of Alabama. Our club always plants plots on Labor Day weekend.
Be ye forewarned that year, there is a food plot predator lurking out there in larger numbers than I've ever seen or heard of.
Army worms are at plaque like levels all across north and central AL. I don't talk to enough folks in south AL to know what they are doing down there.
SO, if you plant on Labor Day weekend, I'd strongly suggest getting a spraying schedule set up from now until mid to late October. Either buy a chemical with a residual or just spray the cheap stuff every 7-10 days. Army worms would easily take out a plot of cereal grains overnight.
I have convinced my club to not plant this upcoming weekend and wait a while til they die down a little.
Don't worry, I'll be quick to link this post in a few weeks when the "What happened to my food plots?" posts start rolling in.
