Just checked some today that were planted 10 days ago and they are sprouting in the shaded areas. Should be fine if we get some rain soon.

Worst ours have ever looked. We reseeded some 40 bags today.
Don’t know what or why, maybe just dry, but some looked like they had never been planted. And trust me, we put our PLENTY of seed before that 2” rain 10 days ago.
Hoping we hit it right and get this rain tomorrow and again this weekend.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

3FFarms, how long before the rain 10 days ago did you plant? Planted 10/10 and best I remember it rained on evening of 10/12. Throw and mow on everything that day, which we’ve done in the past. We did need to bust a few fields but were unable to do so before the rain on 10/12. We planted those busted fields today as well. Will update this in about a week and see how we’re doing. I’m chalking most of it up to incredibly dry planting conditions and one seeder that should be embarrassed to call itself anything more than a paperweight.

I disk my fields and just spread the seed on top. Didn’t cover them in any way. Kinda surprised that they are sprouting without having any rain since planting. Luckily there aren’t many turkeys on the place.

My neighbors on both sides had already planted a few weeks back... their plots look like total crap IMO. Really bad.
I planted this weekend right ahead of the rain. I had decent moisture in my soil. This was what I was looking for. I like it to be just dry enough it won't ball up in your hand but still have enough moisture that when you disk you can see the moisture in the dirt. I have no idea how to scientifically tell you what that moisture content is everyone's soil is different I only know through trail and error how I want it. So everything went in great and got covered. Then we had a good soaking rain right being this which was not a hard enough rain to wash any seed but enough to firm the soil a bit which makes the germination better and was best case scenario for the fertilizer. The daytime temps are going to be a little hot for my taste looking at the 10 day forecast I"m seeing high 70's. I don't like that. BUT I am seeing 60's at the end of the 10 day which I am really liking that changeover if it will actually happen. I usually does around the end of October each and every year we go into more of what I refer to as a late fall weather pattern for a few weeks.. What I am hoping is that the fields germinate and then we go into that 60's and 40's weather pattern and that IMO is best case scenario. Those are the optimal temps IMO for planting food plots. I feel like I can make it work in colder temps but this is best case scenario.
I'm feeling really good about the near $3k I threw out on the ground the last couple days. Failure is not an option for me due to the time involved as much as anything.
I couldn't be happier right now.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Looks thick. What rate did you seed? I planted 9 lbs per acre of the WMS Perennial Plus. It has Ladino Clovers, White Clovers, Red Clovers, and Chicory. I also over seeded some of my other plot with about 3-4 lbs per acre.

My fields were little skimpy last weekend but I thought 1 more week and rain should do it - they looked good this weekend when I checked. I planted 10-10 - latest I ever planted Love looking at new green fields and seeing them grow and watch deer hammering them
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever
