Got all of my food plots in this weekend. I can usually get it all done in a single day but I was plagued with breakdowns this weekend so it took me a little over 2 days.

I had about 3 1/2” of rain a week earlier so I was able to plant into moisture, however working the ground dried it out some so a good 3/4 or inch of rain in the next couple weeks would be ideal.

This is my favorite stand and location, being able to see two different winter food plots and a clover field. Views of the blind and from the blind.

This is a new plot this year. It sits between the creek and a major ditch/wet weather stream. I have been working on it for 2 years and was able to get it into BFOs, Austrian winter peas and turnips. The deer already hit the feeders hard AND this is 100 yds out the front door of my cabin.

There is also a clover field across the creek to the north, which is visible from the main tower blind.

We're still dry, grasshoppers everywhere and supposed to be almost 100 by the end of the week and next so I'm holding out for a while longer.
I would have liked to have waited a couple more weeks but this past weekend was literally the last free weekend I had before October.

Yeah I'll probably be doing mine and others in the middle of the night again this year lol. If we had 3.5" of rain I would have been putting mine in to this last weekend too.
