I will plant the oats and rye in 2 weeks. Never got above 83 in Stoneville.Got ours done in Milton today. Pure Attraction , chicory clover mix , and a couple of oat and reddish plots.
To dang hot to get pics !
I'll try and some in a couple of weeks !
Same for me, been asking for three weeks ,they always say in the next week or two. If anybody finds some please post the location, or better yet PM me.I stopped in at Southern States today and asked about winter wheat and rye. They aren't even getting any in for at least two weeks so if you can find it locally you may want to get it.
I'm planting on Labor Day weekend in Ohio, just wheat , rye and oats. White clover pretty well burnt up so I'll just top seed the grains.
True dat.Carthage Farm supply usually has plenty of everything by the last weekend in August.
Carthage NC
The kale is always a good bet here they love itI go three acres of brassicas planted this weekend (kale, turnips and radishes). Also got a plot prepped to add to my alfalfa.
Yeah. Radishes first. After a good frost they start to switch to kale. Turnips get them thru the winter.The kale is always a good bet here they love it

That's the process I use to get my plots going as well, works pretty good...can't afford a tractor, so that's what I do to get by.Tried something different this year for me. Did not work the ground at all. Just sprayed 41 percent gly heavy on an old rye plot 8-15. Planted about 1 acre of wheat ( 100 LB ) from southern states king on 8-31 with some ladino and crimson clover mixed in about half of the acre. Just put seed and fertilizer in spreader and top seeded . Went back and bush hogged the old rye straw on top of everything. Got about 1 inch of rain the next day and a couple of small showers since then. Wheat jumped right up ,maybe too good, got it a little thick in a couple spots. I figured the crows and turkeys would eat some and they did but not as much as I had figured. Have not seen any clover up yet. But like Buckshooter said a rain dance would not hurt . This was in Wilkes co.
Yep. All Southern States stores are different. The one in Carthage rocks for food plotters.
If anyone is willing , I'll host a Caswell county , NCH&F rain dance event.
Your not lying, it’s as dry as a popcorn fart out out there. Clover even in river bottom is burnt and oats planted two weeks ago have done nothing. Think turkeys have gobbled most of that seed up.
Hopefully Wednesday! Fingers crossed
I've got a bag of pure attraction I had left over. I'm thinking really hard about throwing it out right before it's supposed to rain this week.
I thought you already planted. Or is this an insurance policy?
I did , 21 August. Planted all 3 plots. Hardly an inch of rain since then.
The plots arent doing well at all.
Lol , I told my wife ( she's the one who paid for it ) the exact same thing !You can always irrigate with that fancy sprayer
