I like to start in mid September and space them out until the first weekend of October. That gives me the chance for at least some of them to catch the rain and make.
But my place in Perry county is consistently the driest area of the state in the fall. Fronts from the NW tend to play out just before they get to me, and rains from the gulf seldom get that far north. Hence, my primary concern on deer plots is not temperature, or palatability, or army worms, but rain.
I've been planting the same fields since the mid 60s, and I've found we usually get a few decent rains in mid to late September, and I want seed in the ground when they come. If the plants come up, they can usually survive the drought that nearly always follows in October. Still, I like to spread them out in the hope that at least some of them will be decent.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

I shoot for the 3rd week of September, I'm in Jackson Co. If I were farther South or a gun hunter only I'd wait a few weeks longer.

I like August 13th.... last year I planted a couple of days before the first good rain in October, and had good plots.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Ive kicked myself last two years for not planting the last weekend in september, last three years at my place have had good amounts of rain around that time. Last year evwen with the drought my neighbors planted theirs last weekend of sept and they all had food plots and we didnt until end of october.
