Planted in south bama first of October. Covered it good. Need rain bad as you can see with the fields but same thing last year and had good fields. Dew is getting a lil green up for me. Turkeys gonna scratch me dry. Thankfully the hogs can't get the seeds really…except they don't know what's coming for them with a trap soon. Added a pic of the largest hog I've ever gotten/seen…and yes, we have pigs at every spot at every property as each cam is at a different property lol

The heavy morning dew is the only thing keeping these fields having a heartbeat. We need rain so bad. I watched a yearling buck chase a doe on camera and the whole field had a cloud of dust. The whole field

In northwestern Cheatham it is really dry. The seed that sprouted in my plots got ate up quickly by the deer due to lack of rain

Exactly. My plots are living on dew right now. But the models are looking better for next week, around Halloween into the weekend.

Sure hope so. Sitting at a soccer game for my daughter right now. It's pouring rain, but I'm standing out in it and loving it! Everyone thinks I'm crazy - don't care. Just wish it was doing this in Hickman. But it's not

Getting rain in Nashville (0.20") but not at hunting property - although rain is close.

Hickman is just about to get some rain. At least all but the northern edge. But it won't be much.

Wow I just looked that up and sure looks like we are getting hit.

We only got 0.09" at the hunting property, but we'll take anything we can get.

My wife had a fall festival event at her work today less than 12 miles away as a crow flies. She said it came a flood there and they had to hold off a bit to start. We had a couple light showers here while my son and i were sitting in a stand. Better than nothing, but sure would have been nice to get that heavier precip here.

 

[megalomaniac]

We got 0.06in at the farm today. A few folks got some OK rain today, but it was very patchy.

 

[Whitetaillane8]

We got .15" this afternoon in s.e Hardin.

Here she is in all her glory!

Radishes and turnips survived, deer ate and drought killed all the rye and wheat. Drought killed the clover. Drilled end of Sept in bone dry soil, got .5in rain the next day, 4in 2w later from Helene. None since.

Deer will decimate the radishes mid Nov, and it will be bare dirt by Dec.

This year sucks.

Same here. My turnips have thrived. Wheat and rye have died out. So glad i mixed in a cup of turnip seed in my 3 pt seeder when i spread each plot

I wouldn't say my brassicas have thrived... in a normal moisture year, they would be 3x that size by now.

It's good the deer don't touch the radishes until mid Nov. But once they become palatable, they will wipe them out in a week. Turnips they dont hit until December.
