November?

Late September unless it's incredibly hot.

I’m getting a few more areas ready for clover also. Hoping for a wet fall and winter like last year.

Got my winter food plots sprayed today, along with a couple of future clover fields. They should be ready to turn under in about three weeks and plant sometime mid-September.

Month since the last rain on my milo, it's suffering bad. Half bloom stage too, needs rain soon.

I’ve got a big job coming up out of state, so I won’t be around for most of September. Would it be too early to go ahead and plant my wheat plots in the next couple weeks?

 

[Toothpick]

I think so
Normally I would say go ahead but army works are bad this year

Get a worm and grasshopper report from your son first. If we get another rain or two there will be drills in the fields in two-three weeks. Longer if not of course.

My son said he hasn’t seen any army worms and not as many grasshoppers as he sees in south Texas. I may just put off my trip until next weekend or the following week and take a gamble. Worst case, I would lose the cost of 2500 lbs of wheat seed and a little time. I’ve lost a heck of alot more than that trading stocks on Robinhood.
