Heavy Rain Threatens Staff Food Plot
Posted by DDH Staff

by Jacob Edson, F&W Media Outdoors Editor

A week ago, a coworker and I hustled out to plant a couple food plots before the forecasted rain. We got our seed in the ground in time, and were excited to see the germination process begin. Since then, things have been wet. Very
wet!

Good, right? Well, yes and no.

Large puddles have formed in a few places and we might have lost some of our seed.




However, our plot is taking off in places devoid of standing water. So far, I'd say the plot is doing pretty well aside from one large puddle that seems to be enveloping about 1/8 of an acre.

I'm a little worried we might be in for a little too much rain. There are heavy thunderstorms forecasted for tonight, with up to an inch expected. As the saying goes; when it rains, it pours.

I'll offer another update in a week or so.



How are your food plots doing this year? Share your successes on the deeranddeerhunting.com forums. Or, come and ask a food plot related question.
