I planted my plots on September 12 and 13. I got a couple of really good rains and they looked great until the army worms hit. I knew a couple of plots were hit because I had cell cams on them, but I was hoping maybe the worms didn't get all of my 15 acres of plots. I was able to make it down last weekend, and it was pretty much bare dirt on all my plots.
Now I'm just waiting on rain to replant

That's impressive, tks for the lapse pics!

Sorry you got wiped out... sometimes I wonder if it's even worth planting plots
Yes, between the droughts and army worms, I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it myself.
I've been planting plots for over 25 years, and I've only been hit by army worms one other time, and they only got one plot then.
With no acorns at my place, and replanting this late, I don't believe my plots will be able to withstand the browse pressure.
