Multiple dove hunting
options, including sunflower, milo, and wheat fields are available from year to
year. Below are pics from
this and past years' fields.
Lincoln County Farm AR1110 Sunflower/Millet Field Prep & Progression
April through August 2009
This field's formula consists of:
Food = 6 Acres Sunflowers & Browntop Millet
Water = Canal along it's east side
Grit = Gravel Road 1/4 mile away
Shade/Cover/Roost = Trees along every edge
|
The field is ready for action. It was mowed & burned
August 24th and birds have started using it. |
 |
 |
|
As of August 3rd, our browntop is close to finishing in
the middle of the field. In the coming weeks, we plan to spray, mow
and burn the field. |
 |
 |
|
Our sunflowers & browntop are off to a strong
second start. The millet is outperforming the sunflowers but by June
18th everything was 12" or taller. |
 |
 |
|
In the first planting, April 25th, 100% sunflowers were broadcasted, most of
which were destroyed by the 11 inches of rain that followed. |
By May 22nd, it finally dried up enough we could get back in the field to
replant. To condense time frames and insure we have ample food by
opening weekend, we drilled a mixture of sunflowers & browntop millet. |
 |
 |
|
The field was disked twice, April 8th. |
Then a third pass across the field was made with a field
cultivator, April 25th. |
