I planted my fields last weekend. Had decent soil moisture, so I suspect they either have began germinating, or will shortly. The rain chances this weekend will hit it just right for an additional dose of water.
Two years ago (the bad fall drought year) I planted in late Oct after a short shower that hit the spot a couple of days prior. The disk was turning dry powder, but I spread the seed anyway. It was very dry for the next few weeks, and it stayed in suspended animation for that time period until it finally rained. A week after the rain, the fields were green (I guess the turkeys couldn't scratch up and eat all the seed), and in Dec and Jan, I had very respectable growth and production.
Moral of the story: I don't think you can plant too late in the fall with a regular wheat/rye/oat combo. They are cool season plants, and thrive in the cooler weather. As long as you have moisture, you should get a good crop.
Opinions vary, but the above is mine.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Opinions vary, but the above is mine. I bought my property a few years ago at the end of December and hand seeded a couple fields with cereal rye. Two weeks later and it was coming up awesome. I think with the exception of a few weeks in Jan usually, it stays plenty warm enough in Alabama to plant winter varieties all winter.

We planted last weekend and the rain this week was perfect timing. I'm not mad with the chance of rain in the upcoming week either.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
