We try to get them all in right before a rain. It’s so hard to get more than two guys to come up to plant any given weekend. We just take what we get and roll the dice. That said, if it is exceptionally dry we will delay planting a few weeks. Same here.

Has anyone ever planted food plots and had them die due to lack of rain. I have made it not rain by planting a food plot.

Some stuff eventually sprouted, but it was pretty sad looking. I remember that year. We decided to wait and didn’t even get our fields in until early November. We saw more deer in fields that year than ever before and I think it was because our neighbors all planted early and had crappy fields
