Mine look like a BOB advertisement in a glossy mag

In November.....not so much

Amazing what rain and milder temps will do in east texas for plantings......

We’ve gotten 10 inches in the past week here at the house. Heck, 3.5” since midnight. I’m about ready for some sunshine!

Same here in SW Arkansas - and my plots are going under water.

My fall plots look terrible now. The standing beans have been wiped out....nothing but stems left. The over-seeded wheat and turnips didn't do so well either. The deer have eaten what did grow of them but it wasn't much. They are so bad I am really looking into a different plan for my plots this coming year. I looking at putting out my leftover wheat with a dash of some crimson clover as soon as I can and let it stand all summer and then terminate it and row plant AWP with some turnips and let the wheat re-seed itself as well. I figure this should give me "green" well into winter and then again come spring. I have plenty of soybeans around to feed the deer all summer long and a low deer density so I think I can get away with small plots of the AWP (I already get away with small plots of ag beans without any sort of protection and they still produce grain). Still looking at options though...
 
I will figure out this photo thing and someday post pics and create an avatar

Clover ,oats,rye,and daikon radish about to explode in growth with flowers soon to follow

Here's a video I took few days ago of few plots from the farm. Funny to compare to pic trampled by turtles posted of ice fishing.

 
I'll be lucky if my plots get that much height by july here. Yours looks amazing.
 
Rusty puts us all to shame with his plots!

I have another inch of the white stuff on my plots this morning. Could have been worse.
 
My plots are still under about 10 inches of hard crust. Will be a while
