Fall food plots

[Deleted]

Well, I finally decided to get a small fall food plot in last weekend. I mowed down about a 1/4 acre, tilled it up, and broadcast a "Throw n Grow" blend of Tetrapoid Rye, Brassica and Clover. Now all we need is some rain, which according to the weatherman, we won't see for another 2 weeks
Anyone else planning on putting in any fall plots for deer?

I was looking at that throw and grow stuff yesterday but decided on another mix of brassicas and clover.

I recently added another 26 acres to my farm and I been mowing the brush off and tilling the ground. I got an acre back down to dirt but only half of that is ready to plant. The ground will be in better shape next year so I'm not expecting much from it this year.

This drought isn't helping anything.

I just reread % ingredients on the Throw N Groaw bag. 85% Rye
Looks like a trip to Bass Pro is in order this weekend, for a Biologic bag of strictly Brassica and maybe some Chickory.

The good news is, the weatherman upped the % of rain Sunday to 60% ;D

That's what made me put it back on the shelf. Rye seed is cheap and I can get that at any farm store. I guess it won't matter what we plant cause if it don't rain we won't have diddly dick growing out there.

Last year, a 50lb bag of whole corn was 5 bucks at the local grainery. I called my buddy Jerry who works there, the other day, and he said it's now $8.50 a bag.
