Food Plots Well... how much did you get?

[tellico4x4]

Now the models (European and American) have the hurricane going far east of us (Georgia and Carolinas). Canadian doesn't know what to do with it.

Worst yet, all three models are now decreasing the amount of rain expect from these two system Thursday and Sunday. For my area, the forecast went from somewhere between 0.30 and 0.60 inches, to 0 to 0.25 inches. I'm cursed. I must have angered the rain gods.

Got a bit excited yesterday when I saw 60% chance from NOAA for Sunday, now down to 30%.... AccuWeather still shows 82% though

Sunday, rain chances look better for northern AL than for western TN.

Rather have it in TN than my house, tired of cutting grass anyway!

Midnight storm gave us . 35". Raining again for nearly 2 hours this morning. Sprouts from planting on 8th were still hanging on yesterday. This should help.

I planted 2 acres of wheat, oats and crimson clover Thursday gambling on the 40% chance of rain. Got home and they changed it to 0% chance.. Get up Saturday morning and its raining and they say 100% chance or rain and T storms. Check it yesterday afternoon and its back to 40% chance

I can't remember the NOAA site that shows rain totals for an area? Something on the GFS does anyone know?

.34" overnight. Our plantings are about 6" tall. I'll take it

 

[BSK]

Just 0.10". That means, over the last 35 days, just 0.72". Food plots will never make it. No rain in the 16-day forecast.

0.3in on mine... they aren't dead yet, but def need a good soaker. Still waiting on 4 more acres to plant.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Still have 400lb of cereal rye in basement waiting on a solid chance if rain....some of the plots we already have out are doing ok....some are struggling...we need rain bad.

 

[Andy S.]

0.45" last night in about 20 minutes. Friend to the southeast got 1" overnight.

Where did you get your rye?

 

[BSK]

Two of the three models have rain coming up through East and parts of Middle TN from the hurricane. But the models stop the rain's westward extent juuuust before my place. Of course...

Where did you get your rye?

Our local Co-op finally had a shipment come in. Higher than years past at $20 per 50lb...but everything Ag related is high right now.

 

[tellico4x4]

Got .52" out of the front which is about 5 times what we've gotten this month...

0.3in on mine... they aren't dead yet, but def need a good soaker. Still waiting on 4 more acres to plant.

 

[Bgoodman30]

.45" where I planted... Other farms that were already planted got .10 and .24...

 

[hitek7]

Somehow my plots are looking good just going off cell cam photos. Not sure what is actually growing but they are good and green. They got about 3/4" yesterday so that should help more.

 

[puppy]

For those of us in E TN looks like we may get 1-1.5" tonight and tomorrow morning

 

[JAD]

I planted a couple acres early this week. I was betting on some rain from that hurricane. Looks like I lost that bet. I won't plant any more until we have a solid rain forecasted.
