Way too early to be planting now. Wait until early/mid October. Yep. A lot of folks get antsy to plant starting at Labor Day. These are the hottest and driest weeks of the year.

Actually, October is the driest month of the year in Alabama. I'm doubting that. I would need to see statistics. In my opinion the driest month is typically June or July. But either way, September is too early for food plots. October is the best time to plant. No question.

Actually, October is the driest month of the year in Alabama. Right, but September is very dry too. And much hotter. So why expose your plot to the 2 driest months of the year? I’ll keep my seed in the bag for a few more weeks.

Looking at the long range till the end of Oct, there's going to be a lot planting done in dry dirt. We may be wanting a mild TD in a month or so. Sure not going to be a wet fall like it's been the last couple years. I have a couple mud holes that are dry for the first time since 2016.

The records do back it up. Sept/Oct are the driest, on average. Certainly looking that way again this year. September's sure living up to that reputation so far.

But either way, September is too early for food plots. October is the best time to plant. No question. October is the driest month according to data. Average is barely over 2” the entire month. September is almost double that. That may not run true every year but it is a fact.

Rain chances going up next week. I'm getting seed in Friday on a plot or two if I can and cross my fingers. They are. Still way too far out though. I'll believe it when I see it.
