Got my last field planted Saturday evening and got 1.25” last night.
I have clover seed I should have put out last week. Ran out of daylight. Might be next week on Monday at the earliest now. Wish I could have had it out before the 1.5" rain last night and more rain tomorrow night.

Anyone else use a weed blower to spread small seed like clover, turnip etc? It works really well.
I haven’t but that’s a great idea.
I use one of those over the shoulder seed spreaders with a crank handle to spread the seed.
the faster you crank the handle on the spinner, the further it throws.
Bought a used 6’ three point Brillion seeder a couple years back that’s designed to drop the seed and cover it with a cultipacker.
It has a locked up bearing somewhere in the gear train. Need to get that thing fixed and use it.

I cannot believe how well my new food plot has taken off. It had saplings and black berry bushes all over it going into the spring. I burned it off in early April, sprayed it with remedy and Roundup in early August. Worked it the first time in late August, then again before planting the last week of September.

Got about 1.5” of rain the week after it was planted, another 1.25” Sunday night and .85” this morning. More rain coming tonight through Friday so I think I’m set for a while. With the warmer temps, I should get a lot of good growth on it the next few weeks.
