Food Plots Rain

[Scioto]

Happy for the rain yesterday and again today. Forecast here in middle TN for more late Saturday through middle next week. Hallelujah! Hope the drought is broken.

Wondering if this rain might stimulate some growth in December in my Clover that held on, incl seed, as well as any winter rye seed that wasn't eaten by turkeys and birds?

I am wondering the same thing. I actually went in and spread some wheat in front of the rain hoping for the best. Looks like a real Artic blast late next week. Like seeing that for deer hunting but hate it for the prospects of getting some wheat up.

Checked out my little plot yesterday. Recent rains produced no miracle grow. Lol.

Drought essentially killed the plot. Some red clover held on as spindly plants and was the same after the recent rains. Still I'm very thankful for the rain, what's falling tonight and in the 3-5 day forecast. Positive for long term health and recovery of the plot.

My plots were the same as your Scioto. I had hoped to see a little rebound but with the rain coming so late and really cold temps later this week, it is time to officially put the nail in the coffin. My plot behind the house that had 1/2 durana clover and the other 1/2 of oats/turnip/chicory is toast. There are a few small patches of clover hanging on so at least I have something I suppose.

Climber, your plot and mine sound like in the same condition. Spots of clover hanging on but the drought nailed the Oats, rye, and rape. Try again next year.
