Food Plots How long can it survive...

[GOHUNT]

Without another rain? Got my plots sewn on August 28th ... wheat, crimson clover, beets, turnips and radish. We had two rains, about 0.5" and 0.67" within a week after planting. It was dry n dusty when I planted. Since then, none. For sure, it germinated well. How long now can my young, tender plants last till another rain?

Good question. I have the same issue with a couple of mine. Seed germinated and started well after a bit of rain, now not much in the forecast. Some of it will die I'm pretty sure.

if it has sprouted and has a decent size leaf or blade it will soak up a good bit of morning dew and survive longer than you think in many cases, especially if any is shaded from the morning sun.

with the heavy dew we've been having it will do ok for a while......

I planted in Carroll Country on September 16th & 17th... not a drop of rain since... Now I see nothing bust dust bowls with a lot of turkey feathers... dang work kept me from getting the good heavy rains from the hurricane / tropical storm rains. I may be left hoping for a long lasting acorn mast crop this year
