Our plots are all quite dead from spraying. Will start disking this weekend, but ready for the (hopefully) cooler weather next week. One of my friends son had a little luck in the meantime.

The big concern is to get it wet enough to germinate, but then no more moisture and burns up the sprouts. This

We are going to put the seed in the ground in the morning. 20% chance of rain Sat and Sun but then 40% on Monday and Tuesday and then 40% again on Friday. This heat should be gone this coming week and some regular rainfall return. I HOPE and PRAY!!!!!

The big concern is to get it wet enough to germinate, but then no more moisture and burns up the sprouts. That's what I'm afraid of. Were penciled in to plant on Oct 12, but in a holding pattern for now. Fields are ready but a little rain would be worse than none If you planted, had germination, then more hot dry weather. You'd have dead fields and wind up buying more seed to plant. It's driving me nuts, I'm ready to be done with it and go hunting

Gentlemen. Look at the rainfall totals before you plant. The weathermen are predicting around a 1/2 inch rainfall total for the month of October at this time. I am in the woods everyday. I see a lot of your food plots that have been broke up. They are nothing but powder!!!!! I don't disagree. But it's October 4. If the weather men knew how to predict the future out 27 days, they wouldn't be working for a living. They can't even figure out if this rain even Monday is real or not. I've seen 80% all the way down to 40% for the same spot in the last 24 hours.

Sumpter, you got a good layer thatch there, now is your chance to take the leap to T&M. LOL One advantage to the T&M method is that it takes a decent rain to wet all the thatch and get to the soil to sprout the seed. A small rain event often wont make it to the soil, so you dont have to worry about a small rain sprouting it and then the next day the sun beating down on the soil drying it out. That was a waist tall pasture that I mowed about 5 weeks ago,. Sprayed 3 weeks ago. I was told I would disk it,at least this year, that spot has not had the ground broken in 45 years and the cows have compacted the soil badly. I do have 3 spots (about 8 acres) that are in year 3 of T&M. Getting better each year. After year 2 I fertilized the existing grasses in late May and got rid of all the sparse spots. It came up much better last fall.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

Well, I pulled The trigger and we planted 26 acres today. They have increased our rain chance to 60% now for Monday and 50% on Friday. Then we are back to looking at 20% pretty much every day. Keeping my fingers crossed that this heat is leaving and rain is coming.
