Food plots in AL

Need some help with a food plot question. Lease in Dallas Co Alabama. Very sandy soils, limed two years ago. Planted using 13-13-13 fertilizer, Oats, Wheat, New Zealand Brazacous (sp) (Biologic). These plots got rain on them two days after planting, came up beautifully and were the best we have ever had at that point. Over the past four weeks they have turned a yellow brown color not all over but most areas of the patchs accept for a few spots in each patch. We have been very dry over the past month, but does anyone have an idea about what kind the problem this may be?

May be a lack of water, but that should be helped tomorrow. It would be good if you could get a little Ammo-Nite on the patch before the rain.

We put A/N on two plot Friday to see if that will help. After this rain if those two do significantly better than the others we will put on all. Thanks for the response.
