I can't think of any spring plantings that are acceptable for top sowing, so I'm assuming you are referencing seed that has been placed in the ground and covered with soil. It shouldn't be a problem. Normal agricultural practice.

I was told they were planting peas, wheat, corn and sunflowers. "Plant" around the end of February and when they don't make it "plant" again the first week of march?

Had a "buddy" show up to hunt a turkey only lease one time and the land owner had top sown a wheat field.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Normal agricultural practice. What about milo/grain sorghum? Tiny seed, warm season crop. I've top sowed it before with good results. Never hunted over the seed though.

According to my friendly neighborhood game warden, if it's not 100% covered and the field is not over one acre in size, it is bait and you will be ticketed.

Interesting; where do we find the one acre statute? And, how far away is required by statute?

IMO, it would need to follow recommended agricultural practice. Planting peas or corn in February would likely be illegal as that's not recommended. April could be a different story entirely.

Lot of corn planted in March in AL...
Wheat can be top sown literally any time

Wheat can be top sown literally any time Yeah, but no legitimate farmer top sows wheat in March. That's what makes it "illegal" to hunt over.

I'm in Lee county did you speak with a he or she gw? HE is. He is the same one who has been discussed in this forum before for questionable ticketing. From what I've seen he likes to "interpret" things in his own way. Some people love him, some people hate him, I just don't trust him so I don't push it.

I'm totally not trying to be a smartass...but if I had a field that I had burned down in order to plant corn or something and then decided not to plant corn for whatever reason...and had a load of wheat sitting in the barn and then decided to top sow the field with wheat to cut for hay..can a GW (who isn't a farmer) really tell me what I'm doing isn't "legitimate" and give me a ticket for hunting over a "baited" field that is really and truly planted in a crop?
