    Its not going to help you much in late season as birds will eat it by then....or wind, etc. you will lose your seed, regardless.

    I still think brown top is pretty worthless.
    Browntop can be good even beside sunflowers. They will eat sunflowers heavy for a few weeks and then start eating both.

    As 2th said, brown top will probably not make it Dec/Jan.....however you can plant it in late August. I did once with centipede while planting my yard. It made good seed and the doves loved it.

    Ideally, burndown, fertilizer, then one of these ripper combos followed by a disc/ roller combo for breaking up cow pastures.

    Bownut--I'm not sure what the best "late season dove food" would be. I'd be interested to hear from other people on that....

    My opinion is that a good late season field is part luck, part preparation. Its usually hit or miss that time of year. If I had good flowers in september, its possible I still have standing flowers with seeds in December. Same for corn. If the pigs havent found it, I love to chip old corn on fresh dirt late season. Milo certainly holds up well and I had a field full of it last year but very few late season doves. Go figure...

    I dont think there is a magic bullet for the third season but plenty of people that have had a good shoot in the past will give the credit to something they believe to be the enticement. Who knows what the actual answer is....
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Bottom Plow, then either disc or tiller to bust up and smooth, tiller works best.

    Just fyi if you've never used a bottom plow, there is damn sure a technique or your field will be as rough as wiping your butt with a corn cob

    I converted hay fields to dove fields this year- bushhog, roundup, tried a 2 bottom plow and did nothing but spin all 4 tires with the differential lock on (60 hp ) so I disced, and crossed disced and did it again and finally was able to turn it over with the plow. Let it set and then started discing again to smooth it.


    As dry as it is I think burn, chisel plow, turn with a bottom plow, then disc until smooth.

    If a bottom plow doesn't do it you are shit out of luck until it rains.

    Not sure what the thatch is like on top or if your trying to harrow green vegetation but that could be a big part of your problem.

    I've been thinking the same thing. I might keep making implement threads every couple weeks if it keeps the rain coming!
