Not much to talk about - the plots are coming along good - the deer pictures on the cams have been poor - just cannot seem to get the right spot. These pictures are all from the week of July 21st. We only broadcast 46-0-0 Urea for a fertilizer on the corn at planting this year - we tried to put down 200 lbs/acre - but I see some areas that we must have been thin on. Overall - we cannot complain - we'll have clover, beans & corn come hunting season and the deer will be there!
One thing really different this year - is that The neighboring farm was ALL planted in Soybeans this year - last year it was corn. This is the 1st soybean planting for MILES other than ours in all the years we've been here. Already - we see that OUR soybeans are MUCH less browsed -
We full expect that the deer will eat in SOYBEANS from the neighboring 10-20 acre fields - which is fine with us - Once harvested - ours will be the only 6 acres of standing soys (and corn) for MILES.
Its all good for the herd - and we are very excited about it.
