N. IL here; I planted 08/14 into crimped buckwheat on ~1.5 acre. One small strip of cereal rye along the woodline I plan to frost seed some clover into later in the season, and the rest is split 50/50 into turnips/radishes and forage peas/rye/oats/winter wheat. There was a ton of rain in the 10 day forecast when I planted, but we’ve had maybe 1” since then. The rye is coming in strong (shit will grow in the bed of my truck; who needs soil anyways?), but the rest looks like crap (brassicas especially). I’m hopeful the seed is just dormant and not totally fried…otherwise it’ll be 100% rye and I’ll be spreading heavy.Food plots in. Just need rain!View attachment 8492481View attachment 8492482
Getting excited either way. Been shooting my bow 2-3 times a week since July.
