After it rains of course Yeah I thought about that so I said what the heck, it should work for what I’m doing . We got a little shower on what I sowed today. Gonna try to finish up tomorrow after work and wait on the rain.

Pretty much done……I think I may go back and hit it with a second pass just to smooth out a few places. A believe this is an armadillo already digging around….damn things are about like small pigs. It could be a fox digging for moles I guess. Dog fennel screen turned out really nice………

looks good CNC!! meant to tell you're a celeb now on the facebook. saw the article that realtree put out a couple days ago about good tracking dogs. thought the dog in the cover pic looked familiar, so I clicked it and saw your whole crew. nice work!!! Thanks man!....My friends/neighbors wrote that and took the pics. They write and take pics for a number of magazines and sich and they get me to pose as the hunter from time to time. I’m not sure where Jolly came up with that date of 2015. I think I gut shot that big deer in 2011 or 2012 and then got Otis in 2013…….This will be our 5th tracking season coming up.

CNC and others, what would be your thoughts of planting tomorrow afternoon in North Crenshaw county? Our work will be letting off early and I'm not real concerned about the winds where I will be. It may be raining while I work and I'm sure I'll have 20-25 mph winds. Any reason not to do it you can think of? Go for it!.....It should be an excellent time to plant with definite rain on the way.

I have wheat,oats,rye,peas,rape,radish,kale,turnips, durana,crimson, and some yucchi. This plot will be lush, its only been planted for about 10 days and when the brassica's starting kicking it into high gear, they take up a lot of room. You have to have room for the clovers to come in. This is a 1 acre field and i put enough seed down for 1 1/2 acres. This seed was seeded into the mat of laid over grass that you see. It wasn't seeded and then mashed down. Some of you wanted pictures of this method.

I went with a simple mix of wheat, oats, and cereal rye at a rate of 100 ish lbs/ac…I should have some yuchi and crimson clover reseeding itself....curious to see how much comes back…
I actually think you may be better off with a mix of cereal grains once you get your fields really rocking and rolling and producing lots of biomass....versus say just having wheat or just having cereal rye as a grain component. Cereal rye is outstanding in poor conditions…..but I do concur with others that wheat and oats are probably more preferred by the deer if grown side by side in fertile conditions. Oats also seem to be hit harder earlier in the season and are the most preferred of the three. Regular oats can freeze out on you though if we ever have a really hard prolonged cold snap. From a biomass perspective….wheat isn’t gonna get nearly as tall and produce near the amount of biomass in the spring compared to rye……so a mix of it is gonna thin things out a little without having to mow if you have clover mixed in. A solid stand of tall cereal rye is THICK in the spring. If your soil is still in poor shape I’d stick with cereal rye all day. It doesn’t matter how attractive wheat may be if what’s in your plot is yellow and/or struggling to produce any yield……However, if you have a good fertile situation you're dealing with then a mix of the three may be the better all around choice.
Just something to ponder over…Eventually this is likely to just become a matter of biomass management for everyone once we get past this initial “getting started” stage….…As I’m typing this the rain from Michael has just really started falling with some intensity….....Let it rain….let it rain…..

Gonna plant tomorrow in St. Clair County. They are holding a Wheat/oat/rye/crimson clover mix for me at the seed place. I have a 10lb bag of turnips left from last year. I'll throw a hand full of those in every refill of the spreader. My fields are about 8ft high in most places, so gonna mow first, then seed.
