Turkeys like to scratch. Could be an invitation to come on inn.

The turkeys use to come in to dust themselves in the same field area every year. I t was fun to watch and film. They would be kicking the dirt out; dust would be flying in the air. Having a good old time. Now I can only wish for turkeys eating my seed. Very few here.

I'll mix red clover with other grass seeds which are slightly smaller, when frost seeeding early Spring. The combination works well and I get a nice even mixture throughout the field. I'd like to add a three acre field, of wheat in a few weeks, frost seeding red clover mixture in the Spring.

I find a lot of blends that are full of filler seed the deer don't care for, so I'm a " blend your own guy." Hope these are different. Let us know how they made out.

Uplifting to see deer during Muzzle. It like a whole new start to the season. Food sources are proven to work.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Was expecting to see orange. Yes, hope all is well!

I have a fair amount of hay acreage that will start shutting down after the first killing frost. Deer will eat the legumes off, some grasses and weeds, then seek other sources for protien and carbs. Sittting on several hundred acres of corn and beans, I needed to find a formula thats simple to implement and works with other crops established in the area. My radish plantings along with an occasional oat planting, and wheat in the Fall do this. This combination works .It's simple to establish, cost effective, and rewarding. It covers early bow right into firearm season for big game. The wheat along with a fresh frost seeding of Red Clover supplies wildlife right into the following Spring - Summer.

Sorry to hear that. Hope all works out , gets back to near normal. I used your method few years ago on some first cutting that got seedy on me. Rolled it down flat and planted radish on it. Radish did well. Works out well with future rains. Liked the idea of little to no fuel invested, quick to plant.

You posted a lot that made good sense to me. No reason to leave HuntingNY.com for voicing your opinion. and being called out on it. We have lost some dam good members for the same reasons. Perfectly alright to voice opinionsb but be ready to be called out on them.

LOL, they always come back to New York.

In the last 3 weeks, we've had 7 1/2 ". Your welcome to some.

Thanks for the reply and good luck to your plantings. I agree with the tripple 15. I should of stated that the hay seeding was top dressed early in May with liquid 10-20-20 in this spot as I planned on a radish seeding later on after the hay removal. I shoot on 46 % urea dry on wheat in the Spring, and had left overs from last. The second cut hay around this field shows that nothing else was needed.

Thanks for the reply. I don't really shoot for maxium growth. I like to get them diameter of my thumb or so. The deer don't tend to the mature tuber as good. I like to plant an oat- radish mixture, but the last couple years, the oats come up eight inches or so and turn brown. Like a blight hits them. My wheat will be going in first week of September, all goes right. Then it will be frost seeded to Red Clover grass mixture.

Thanks for the reply. It surprises me how New York state planting times vary greatly.

Thanks for the reply' I like to get radish in here right about the first of August. Little earlier under dry conditions, as the deer tend to prefer them in the late season. I like to get that tuber little bigger diameter than my thumb. I'm the only one in quite a few mile radius with a radish planting, ( that I know of ) It shows with the amout of deer I draw here every year right in Muzzle Season.

As always, thanks for the reply. I had 1st cutting hay that I removed and sold for $4/ bale, which in turned payed for the radish seed and urea. I toyed with the idea of no till but the ground was sod and needed to be turned under, in my opinion. If I still owned my no till drill, they would of went in by that method. I could kick myself right in the dupa for selling it. I also thought about using my tine sub tiller, but didn't want the top growth to hinder. How are your plantings doing?

I hope Biden can remember her name, five minutes into conversation.

Just dry enough to plow yesterday. Plowed up a ground nest of yellow jackets, they were pissed. Seven inches of rain in late July set us way back for planting. Hope to disc and plant today before the next round of wet weather. Never planted radish this late before, but figured might as well use the seed. Better late then never, I guess. Pictures to come.

Very nice plantings. Hope they accomplish what they are set out to do. Just getting dry enough to plow here again.

Nice looking plantings. About ready to plating rice here, with 3 1/2" inches or rainfall since 12:20 Monday afternoon.
