The hail Mary corn planting is producing ears. The only issue with it is the areas wet conditions thinned the stand.

I think it's worth mentioning that last Sunday nights rain was another doozy. When I dumped the gauge yesterday afternoon it had 3" in it. I heard we only had one day this week with drizzle , so most must of fallen Sunday night.
That's only one week since early may without at least an inch of rain. Most weeks were 1 1/2" plus with as much as 5".

Everything looks good. Did you spray the over as well? It sure did come back nicely. I'll probably mow mine in a few weeks.

My clover is starting to look like last summer, dry as hail and burning up.
Beans are doing well at least, well the ones in the fence are anyway.
I'm really happy with the 'jungle plots' in a couple spots too. Sorghum is loving this weather and the cow peas are vining all over now, some are 5-6 feet long. The beans and especially buckwheat mixed in are taking the brunt of the browse pressure.

I dont know how your keeping the deer out of those beans. I got 3 strands on the biggest solar charger I could find and they’re walking through that sucker.

Two fences with one strand each. The inside strand is actually poly baler twine.

What is your jungle mix comprised of? Did you mix all the seed together and sling it??? Or drill? Plot looks awesome!!!

I need 12 strands and 8' high fences I guess. I have a very high deer density apparently. They ain't skeered of fences or tractors. Brazen sob's. I was spraying an unfenced plot a few days ago and they just walked right out and started feeding. Last year me and my dad was pulling weeds in a 2 acre plot and had two come out in the field with us....seriously.

Sorghum, soy beans, cow peas and buckwheat. I mixed it all in the hoppers and ran it through bean plates hoping the bigger seeds would keep the smaller from tumbling out like plinko chips... it turned out awesome.
I'll spray some strips through them and broadcast some CC, GH radish etc in the next week or so.

Try two rows of fencing, I run a wide outside line of the "tape" and an inner three strand set up with the top wire being close to 4' off the ground. I've not had a deer mess with it in two years now, granted the first year I only ran the three wire fence and had to go check it every other day or so and readjust the insulators etc until they learned no to mess with it.

I have an inner and an outer fence with a parmak 12v solar charger, I've adjusted height on the inner two fences and the outer single one. A few keep getting through somehow.

A friend of mine had that problem last year. He shortened the distance between the fences and pretty much stopped it.
