Looks pretty good. Looks as though you got some heavy rains after discing, I see some erosion.

Yes I did that picture was a week after planting now it looks like a golf course all the bare spots filled in

What did you plant? All I can see from the pic is either wheat or oats. Looking good

Pictures of a young patch don't show you what is really going on usually. A lot of seed are usually covered deep and takes time to get up and going.

Buck forage oats and I mixed in kale, radishes, and turnips right in the middle to bow hunt over. Now this field is about 8 to 10 inches tall and the deer are hammering it

Looking real nice. My fields are grown in but no deer yet.

They are tearing my oats up, I might try to put some ammonia out when there is another rain coming.

I’m debating on hitting my plots with AN in the morning before this rain arrives. I usually Wait and do it towards the end December. Thinking it may be too early.

Doesn’t look like it needs any just yet. Wait a couple weeks

Ah, to N or not to N. That is the question. I did mine yesterday. Suppose to rain today. Too early??? A lot of factors, none of which we control. Soil type, amount of rain between now and the end, temperatures, what was planted, etc. Also, Dec. lull now for me. In and out with several weeks of no human activity before the rut. Just the way I see it, what I do, and I feel is best. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN IM RIGHT!

I put 3000 lbs of a urea/sulfate blend on 20 acres pre rain late yesterday. Got 1.5" on it. Just right!

Same here, hit mine with AN before this rain plus some clover only spots with 0-20-20

decided to go ahead and hit about 14 plots with AN just before this rain arrived at a rate of 200lbs per acre. The plots had started to turn yellow but the deer have just hammered them down so I am hopeful this will sweeten them up and give them that boost they need to make it through the end of the season.

Damn 200# to the acre is really stout for AN

Not really, that is the amount I have been using for the past 30 years. I got good coverage on all the plots and my hopper would be empty almost right on key.

Our plots always look great in January after a hitting them AN in December. I will post some pic in couple of weeks after it has had time to do its thing.

I always begin with 300lbs per acre of 13-13-13 and follow it up with the AN in December.

I do basically the same. Put it out after dew dries so it doesn't stick to the plants. Never had it burn except where I spill some. But are we wasting it using this much? Can and will the plants use the excess? Hurts the pH but I've always been pleased with the results.

I've always been told 50-100# acre for the boost.

I didn't say I was right.

Our ph is between 7.4 and 7.6 on almost all our plots. I did a test one year 3 months after putting out our normal dosage and the ph had only dropped .10 for the plot tested.

I basically weighed the cost of a pallet of corn, roughly $340 compared to a pallet of AN at $420, and decided that we would benefit more from our food plots than we would from keeping 6-7 feeders full of corn for a month.
