Food Plots Remarkable for condition

[kevin mays]

I plant 30 acres every yr of corn on my west tn farm.
This yr the day I planted it we got a 1/2in of rain . For the next 60 days it never got a drop of rain and had 100 degree temps daily
On Sept 5 61 days after planting we got 1in of rain. The first rain since germination
We got .5 rain today

That's the only rain .

Not a bad outcome for such horrible conditions
Pretty good soil and roots were getting ground water from deep

That's awesome and you're so lucky. We wouldn't ever have anything close to that with that little rain on our ridgetop plots

That looks amazing! For your duck corn, what row spacing do you use, how much/type fertilizer per acre? How much longer before its fully dented do you think? I planted some corn July 12th but I guarantee it doesn't look anything like this corn. I'm trying to learn since its definitely working.

Some of it is bigger

Really I had written off the planting and just been focusing on what I have going here in east tn.
I was surprised

That does look good, considering. My last sweet corn didn't do that well even with supplemental watering.
