Butt Kicking Update

[Trapper John]

Not a bit of the seed I planted germinated. I basically put out 750 pounds of turkey food.

I disked again and bought new seed from Ag. Services. Germination tested 7-07 at 85%.

The guy said it has been a problem this year after the freeze earlier in the Spring.

This time maybe it'll work.

Man that sux I hope it works out for ya

Did you do your paper towel test?

 

[Trapper John]

To be honest this is the last attempt no matter what and I'm running short on time. It's going in the ground regardless. I might toss a few into the paper towel test and see what happens but the results won't change anything.

Alittle rain will help alot of us.

 

[Trapper John]

Rain is good, but that wasn't the issue here. The seed itself was bad. I got 0% germination when I tested it at home. It got plenty of rain.

10-4 Thats a real bummer to waste all that time ,effort,and gas.I hope if they know it was bad ??and You got some extra good seed to make up for it.

 

[Trapper John]

I bought the bad seed from a new source this year. Once I realized it was bad I bought new seed from where I usually go and they assured me the new stuff was tested in July of this year.

I'll be calling the other place this week to inform them they may have a bad batch and see what they say.
