Default RE: Tough Planting Season.

FH....I was just thinking this morning, " I wonder how everyones planting and plots are doing this spring, with all the rain" ....

Man I can' t remember a wetter year. We' ve had rain pretty much 5-6 days a week for the last 2 1/2 mos, and the last 16 days straight! No one has made any hay here either...but when they finally can, man is it gonna be the mother lode. Many of the fields have fallen over they are so tall. Alot of the farmers around have just recently gotten their corn in also. It' s definitely late.

I was planning on extending my clover plot this spring, but that hasn' t happened...way too wet to get in there. Hopefully it will dry up and I can get it in for the fall. I do agree with you though...the clover is booming! I mowed mine once 3 weeks ago, and it needs it again already.[] It also has gotten very thick this year.

What you said about the undrbrush...no doubt. We had a bumper mast crop last year, and I' ve got 3' sapplings growing everywhere already this year!!! The deer have so much browse it' s unreal. They haven' t been in my clover a whole lot so far this year(compared to last year). Too much to eat I guess. Definitely should be a fantastic year for the deer! I just hope this precipitation pattern we' ve been in since Dec...changes by the time fall comes around. I really don' t want to have to hunt every day in the rain.

Let us know how your corn does...hopefully it will do ok.
