New Hope Creek Home

[356]

Back at the Home, I took advantage of the forecast of rain to broadcast forage oats over the failed food plots. The forecast was right this time, and we had 1" of rain over night, with another 1/2" forecast for today and 2 1/2" this week. There is more thatch on the ground than I would have liked, since these were NT drilled back in early August (then germinated with rain that night, and none to follow). The two No-till plots I planted on September 7th should be fine as those seeds were in the ground and covered.

My experience with TnM is that those seeds will work their way down through the thatch. Then under the right conditions they'll reach quite a ways to find soil. Good luck (and I'm hoping I'm getting the same rains you are counting on)!
