I put out an automatic spin seeder in June. But no corn came up cause the deer, raccoons and skwerls keeping eating all of it when the corn seeds hit the ground. Even tried apple flavored to discourage them. It only made it worse.

A big farming outfit that is between our 2 farms had all their equip. out and planting last weekend. We had previously planned to plant Friday and Saturday... I feel ok about having our seed in the ground. Had a good Stead rain into yesterday and currently have a nice slow soaking rain going now. I've planted at worse times and better times.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Just glad I dont Have to worry about planting anymore The next 10 days currently shows a handful of decent chances of rain so hopefully you will it a couple. At about 6:15pm yesterday that cut corn field just south of Farmington was loaded with deer when I was heading south.

257, how many acres is that field you are planting there. Also, what are you planting? Never used a drill planter and wasn't sure if you could plant a blend or not with the different size seeds.

My experience with the drills is you have multiple seed boxes - generally two - one for grains such as oats, wheat, rye, etc - and one for legumes - clover, other small seeds. You probably could do a 3 way mix with oats/rye/wheat in the big box and then clover in the small seed box, but don't think you would be able to plant like a 5 way mix that has oats/wheat/rye/clover/peas all mixed together. We use a Woods seeder and besides the "no till" part, it works similar in that it has a big seed and small seed box. The bigger seeds get buried a little deeper and the smaller seeds get dropped just before the cultipacker. I would only put different blends of seeds in the boxes together if they were very close to the same size.

Looks like his Daikon Radish field which was 7 acres or so if memory serves me well. We got seed in the ground Monday and plenty of rain following. All plots are already sprouting. The field I planted last Thursday is up 2” and already green from a distance

That field is 22 acres. I mix triticale, crimson and radish all together and know my best setting off trial and error over the years. Looks like a golf course today, a week later. I’ll post up pics of it later this week

It’s green. Like a golf course. Not littered with weeds and such
