I got a little too close to one of my corn rows with cleth last weekend and killed a few plants. If this rain will get out of here, I am going to do some more spraying tomorrow

Germination was good. Spray was effective, got all kinds of height difference though

I should have done better seed bed prep. First time drilling and had a learning moment. Lol.

I'm planning to plant my browntop and proso millet this weekend, as long as the field isn't too wet. Yella, did the deer leave your sunflowers alone again this year?

I think drilling is best but it’s not in the budget currently. What are you fertilizing with and how often, this is my first time growing sunflowers

Being surrounded by corn and soybeans helps the most I believe Good deal hopefully they continue to leave them alone. Please keep us updated on the canola. Just did a little research and it looks like you plant it this August-October for manipulation the following late summer. is that correct? Where did you get your seeds?

Pull a soil test and fertilize at time of planting. Just do it once

The canola is going to be more of a “top sown food plot” more than anything. It’ll provide browse for the deer and cover in the spring before it’s terminated. I have some connections in the seed industry.

The more I look into canola the more interesting it gets. Sounds like the best of both worlds if you have a field that you want to provide winter deer forage but also have an attractive dove field the following year. Is it tough to find a winter variety of seed to plant? Is this your first year planting it?

I planted a small patch two years ago for deer. They didn’t mess with it much. Problem with planting and trying to harvest for dove is that once it gets hot it dies. So it would have shot its wad about now. It’s a tough plant, gotta use 2,4-d to kill it. It laughs at Gly. They have a variety that’s designed to be planted in spring and harvested in the fall but you gotta buy a pallet quantity. A 50lb sack does around 9 acres.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like if you have room to spare it might be an option to keep them reefed up during the summer.
