Well, I got all my plots planted on Monday. We planted about 8 acres all together with wheat, rye, oats, austrian winter peas, and purple top turnips. We bought 400 lbs of seed for $137 at the local feed and seed. If we would have bought the same amount of the fall wildlife mix it would have cost over $240. It is a heck of a lot cheaper when you buy all the seed seperate and mix it yourself. Now I am just hoping for some rain. It rained about an inch at the house today but I don't think the farm got anything. We still have a chance of rain through Sunday, so maybe we will get some.

My brother and I hung a stand on Monday as well. The oak that we hung the stand in is loaded with acorns. There is probably about 3 nuts for every leaf. That is a very good sign b/c we have about a 40 acre patch of thick oak trees to the north of us. Every year we have a good acorn crop it draws deer from the river and we normally have great success. I am keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to the upcoming season.
