Jakes plots

[motorbreaker]

Were going all out with our plots this year. They say diversity is key and I wanted to see how true it is.
Our beans and corn are doing great. This year were adding brassicas and forage oats. We planted the oats and brassicas last weekend, 8/6/16. Also added fertilizer. We seen it work well for the neighbors last year and with there help we did it this year.

We planted Frigid Forage Big and Beasty last Wednesday and they were popping through the dirt Sunday. I have used them before with great success.

How many acres?

My wife just sent me this from Hillsboro! That's enough to wash your seed away...holy shit.

Not sure why the pic didn't show up the first time?

That's a gulley washer right there! It could probably rain like that here and the ground would soak it all up.

We have 1 acre of big n beasty. 7/8 acre of oats. 1.25 acres corn. 2.5 acres soybeans.

I was told we got 2.5" of hard rain yesterday. Hope the seed stayed put.
