This is the subject that should rock and roll on this forum.

 It's not to late for foodplotting yet this year. Some late beans are still doable, and its never to late to spray and start ground prep for the fall plots. I have sprayed the past 2 weekends. I sprayed 2 plots weekend before last to stay ahead of the weeds and grasses, so it will be easier to put in my brassicas in august or sept. This past weekend I sprayed a bean plot that was needing it and plan on spraying another today if weather permits. Glyphosate is a wonderful tool for foodplotting.

I took advantage of the rain that we had over the past few days and did some maintenance on the food plots.  I bushhogged my winter wheat/clover/alfalfa plots yesterday.  There were some weeds growing in the plots that I wanted to knock down.  The doves were flocking to the grain that I sent flying! 

I also sprayed some thistle that I have in various places on the farm.  The thistle has not started to bloom, so I think I will be keeping ahead of them this year.  Does anyone else manage thistle on their farm?

I did stop and eat alot of blackberries, and packed some home for the family as well.  It's time to get out and enjoy them.

We have not had good luck with beans even if planted early.  The deer anihilate them before they can ever reach maturity.  We are now in the dry months of summer so growing beans now is going to be a challenge unless you have really good soil that holds moisture well.  All our fields are rolling pasture land so we are pretty limited to clover, alfalfa, wheat, turnips, etc. 

I do agree that now is a good time to spray fields for fall plantings.  If you haven't tried turnips, give them a shot.  Our deer love them.  We usually plant three or four 1/2 acre plots.  Here is a picture from last year:

And yes, we planted a little too thick.
