For those of you who live in the Auburn area mainly south of 85............Does the September drought/dry period typically continue into October? Last year I planted on Labor Day weekend which resulted in nothing more than a bunch of fat crows flying around after eating my seed since we had no rain for 6 weeks. This year I have held off on planting to avoid making the same mistake. Just trying to get an idea of when to expect good planting conditions in October.

Unfortunately October is usually the driest month of the year here. Maybe we will get a storm, but I wouldn't bank on it till the end of october. We will plant our plots right before a cold front hits in october. Doesn't matter if bow season is in or not.

Barbour County - We usually plant the first weekend in October and have always been fine. Hopefully we will actually get a Fall this year with a few fronts. That is what usually ups the rain chances. Unless you're planning to bow hunt, I'd try to plant in October. Better temps and closer to the winter time rains.

Rule of thumb..... Never ever plant with the Labor Day crowd. I’ve never understood the desire to plant in early September, although I see myriads of trucks hauling tractors and UTVS with seed spreaders every year on Labor Day and the weekend after.

September is a dry month. The only one drier is October. I usually don’t recommend planting in south AL until after October 1 even in a wet year. I’m not putting a thing in the ground until we get some moisture, even if I have to wait until November. I’ve planted plenty of plots in bow season and even well into November that did just fine. Drought and army worms can destroy all that hard work in a second.

I have planted on Labor day in years past for one simple reason - it was the weekend that I knew I would have time to do it. Some years it worked really well, and some years it didn't. It all depends on the rain, and our place in Perry county is the driest place in the state in the fall. We often get a couple of decent rains in September, and if you have your seed in the ground it can get established and then survive the October drought. I've learned to just expect that it's not gonna rain in October.

But the thing that has been different the past few years is that it is staying really hot all the way through September and even in to October. It's past the middle of September and still gonna be over 100 several days this week. I think you have gotta alter your planting when it keeps doing this year after year. With it over 100 in September and bone dry in October, I don't see anything to do except plant in November.

labor day is way too early to plant in my neck of the woods. We plant the 1st or 2nd weekend in October. Normally by mid Oct we start getting cold fronts that will cause it to get rain. It is powder dry right now, I started discing yesterday and it was too damn hot, poor boys ain't got no ac on their tractor

That seems to be the MO on the weather for the past several years. I disced up a field sunday afternoon and I was putting up so much dust I could feel dirt between my teeth. I guess I'll get the fields disced and as soon as there's rain in the forecast get out there and put my seed out.

However, most of our place is underwater come the middle of December. I have planted fields in the past that turned into mud pits because the property flooded. Can anyone weigh in on what to plant in places that are very prone to flooding? I've heard some kind of Japanese rice like they plant in the Delta for ducks? Ya'll reckon deer will eat that?
