Planted a few acres of browntop for the doves. Two fields two acres each. Don’t know if anyone here has purchased nitrogen this year but my goodness I had to take a seat when the local feed and seed owner told me the price per bag. Can’t imagine being a farmer this year (or any for that matter). No tilled behind a dose of roundup back in the spring. One field is looking good, but it looks like I misidentified a grass coming up in the other field as volunteer browntop. Don’t know what it is, but definitely not browntop. We’ll see how the “dubs” like it, as my little boy calls them.
Planted one (late) acre of Titan variety rice in the little woody hole. Conditions and other commitments kept me from getting it in the ground until July 8, so hopefully it has time to make. We’ll see. Next step will be to install a hot wire around the pond about 12” off the ground to hopefully fry some pig noses when the rice gets nice and ripe. The little tangle of morning glories out in the middle of the picture is where I intend to build the little platform blind to keep my little boy dry.
