Picture from today. I realize now that it's hard to see the green in the picture, but the stand doesn't look terrible for the area. I should have taken a wider shot as well. The picture looks like there are some skips, but it's just the way I took the picture. We got lucky on a couple precipitation events that most of the county missed. We still delayed planting a week to try to get some moisture. Note that our planting rate around her is 60lbs/ac for dryland. I'm sure it looks thin to those who get more annual rainfall. If you want to make fun of my seed placement, see the second picture for the well-worn IH-150 drills that planted this. |
