This was one of my annual activities back in the day. I would work up this field, about 1/3 of an acre, in front of my deer blind and plant rye grain. I would usually do this sometime in August so that it would be up and growing before the November seer season. This photo was probably taken about two weeks after planting when I went back out there to spread fertilizer.
The field would not produce grain until the following summer, but that was okay because what I was after was fresh green grass in November when it would be an unseasonal treat for the deer. I don't know how much the deer valued the grain because they have plenty of natural food that time of year. I would mow the field before working it up and replanting next August.
