From my cameras, I can’t see them all or much detail in the ones I can see, but it appears at least a couple of my food plots survived the flood. Here’s the one I can see best. It’s greening back up nicely.

Ok, I’m making plans now for next years planting for deer at my OK place. I’ve spent a small fortune this year on dairy pellets, and I’m done with feeding protein out of a sack. I’ll still feed a little corn in my feeders, but that’s it.

What’s everyone planting in the summer?

There’s no crop land around me, so if I can get this figured out and done, I could have the only natural (planted) food source other than the refuge (which is still a couple miles east). I’ve been thinking soybeans, but at this point, I’m open to suggestions.:anyone:

Overgrazing and low average rainfall might be an issue with beans there. Iron Clay cow peas are much more suitable to dry conditions over the beans. Something to research anyway. Milo would do okay too as far as suitable for dry conditions. How many acres?
Agree. Milo works pretty well during dry seasons.
I don't do summer plots. The farmers around me do it for me.
