    I planted about 2 acres of Durana clover and a clover chickory mix back in March and it is really taking off now that the weather has warmed up.

    After I got my turkey first thing in the morning on April 25th, I took the rest of the day and planted my food plots. I planted some RR Corn and a few mixes I got at 1/2 price at the local Farm & Home last fall.

    Looks good, John :cool: What's the latest you can plant? I'm still considering the possibility of putting something in my little 1.5 acre meadow.

    Looks great! Our clover/rye plot is the best it's been in three years. We've had a ton of rainfall this spring coupled with ample amounts of sunshine. Should be a good fall as long as we don't get a lengthy dry spell.

    Really looks good. I hope to do so well. I went down yesterday to disc one more time and spread seed but it was too wet. I'm giving today and tomorrow's sun to dry it up and I'll disc and plant tomorrow.

    Looks good bud. I just finished liming on my main one. I need to get killing and tilling. The plots at the cabin are growing good. I am excited.
