    Default Getting water to food plots

    Of course we didn’t get the rain I thought we would so I want to try and get to water on my plots if possible. I saw a pretty good idea on YouTube using a pump and a 250 gallon container that may work but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas? Really trying to avoid planting again.

    It will rain. Park a skidder on the property or a feller Buchner and it will rain.

    Rained good here this evening. 0.25” today and 0.10” yesterday. Close to 1” in town.

    That hauling water shit ain’t worth it

    Steady planting and have some moisture in the ground but would be nice for a little shower to pack that seed bed

    I think you're on flat rock, it might only be a few miles north.. but it's just different. You're right there at the fall line. It's looking right now that a band moving into us in about 45 could catch your area.

    It's been kinda putting up the brakes though for the last half hour, but there's a decent chance.

    Before you start hauling water, just realize it takes 27,154 gallons of water to equal 1 inch of rain per acre.

    If I had a billboard on 26 I'd quit hunting and just go park and stare at myself on a billboard.
