I'm in NE AR, and it's finally rained today on our proposed dove field. Is there any crop we can plant now that will be ready for opening day Sept. 1?
wild game food sorghum will do fine....60 days and seed is edible imediatly. I'm planting mine tomorrow. Most farm seed suppliers should have it...i get mine at southern states.
Round our part all wgf milo is 90 day maturity. i would love to find a 60 day variety? Where can i get some?

I guess it wont work out for sept 1st tho. got any other suggestions for quick upland bird cover that'll stand up into winter with little snow?
for ducks thats all fine. for doves you better have the seed mature by Aug 15th so you can gather up some doves for the Sept 1st opener. You're SOL if you don't have it in the ground today.
several clubs top sow wheat a few days before the season. when put out at 2 to 3 bu. per acre it works fine. old
