This top picture is browntop millet reseeded and germinated from a field I had planted last spring for dove hunting. Had sprayed and mowed it a couple weeks before dove season. Got 1.5 in of rain first of Sep and this is what it looked like Sep 10. Seed germinated.
This is another millet field adjacent to the first field - also self reseeded - what it looks like today - and what the first field looked like last Thur when I left to spend three days with my daughter.
This is what the first field looks like today - it looked like the bright green field four days ago. This is what army worms can do in four days - and what the green field will look like in four more days.
One of several reasons I wait until October to plant. Sept seems to be worst month.
