Here are two plots - one week after spraying.





if you compare to my picture a few back - you can see the difference roundup can make even in 1 week.

Nice looking plots fellas! Crenth, I have never planted Cowpeas with a planter before, and I'm curious as to which planter plates you used. If you don't mind me asking. Thanks!

We used the soybean plates. They are smaller than soybeans so they are dropped more often than soybeans but it worked out fine.


Some updated pictures.

Cowpeas






Corn



Soybeans

I was kind of fishing for the plate #. I have a 2 row Allis-Chalmers planter similar to yours and I have the B-Soy-2 plates but I believe there are 2 or 3 other sizes. Its not a big deal for food plots, but sometimes the wrong size plate will crack the seeds before they are dropped. What ever size you used done a good job that's for sure and I'm interested to try it.

Your plot is definitely growing good! Looks like you just had a good bit of rain right before the pic was taken

Good luck and keep us updated if you would! Thanks

We had over 2" of rain on the 4th. We have to send in our game camera so hopefully we'll be getting the new one back by the weekend so we can run out there and put it up. I'll get some more pics then.

I'll try to find out the plate number for you too.

Crenth, Those plates are color coded. They will most likely be white, yellow or violet. That is all I would need to know. Whatever you do don't go to a lot of trouble and thanks for what you have already done.

We have metal plates, not plastic ones, which I think is what you are referring too.

Here are some pictures
