It's THAT Easy | Planting Brown Top Millet for Doves | Dove Farming 2024

Planting Millet is as easy as 1.2.3, so join me as we get an acre of Brown Top Millet planted at the dove field. We also check in on the Sunflowers and Field Corn. Germination, deer and electric fence updates. Enjoy!

I have to ask. Are you an nc state ag grad or is this totally a hobby?

We’ve had a lot of rain and heat in Alabama and our broadcasted sunflowers are doing great. I’ve wanted a planter to do them in rows for years now, but I’m content with how great it’s working broadcast seeding. Light disk, cultipack, and apply pre emergents seem to work great here. I think deer density is less around my parts, so knock on wood predation hasn’t been an issue.

I been seeing that some people had bad germination with the Eagle seed clearfields. I plant the Lonesome Dove clearfield from Seed ranch. Have for 4 years and always have good luck. I can buy 5 lbs for about $70 or so and it's enough for 1 acre planting on rows.

Checked my sunflower field today. No deer tracks, but not a lot of sunflowers either. I just have big patches where nothing came up. Oh well, we'll just have to see what happens. I need to go out there Tuesday and spray the post emergent as the weeds are starting to pop up now.

Id love to know if you honestly think the cost and headache of sunflowers is really worth it?

Can’t find the video of you installing your “power” line. What gauge wire did you use and how high up did you go?

[@tonycosby2919]

Can you not go back and broadcast the other sunflower seed over the bare areas?

Getting a late start this year but what's something i can plant now to have for the doves

[@jtelectric9905]

Do you add any other herbicide to your clearfield sunflowers (besides "Beyond") for a post emergent spray? Thanks!!

What’s your plan for fertilizer?
