My clover is still hanging on in Rockingham but the rye and ryegrass is wilting. Here in Harnett county the plots are drying up and turning yellow. No rain since early October. The foodplot down at the dog club is still green but they got an inch of rain last week down there.

Our food plots are just an open place in the woods to dump corn. This is the worst year I can remember for growing anything.
I can't even germinate a salad plot at my house.

Mine are still going strong, and the deer are finally browsing them well. With all of the acorns early on, they hadn't been hit very hard, but in the past 2-3 weeks, they finally started spending more time actually feeding in them.

I threw out turnip seeds a few days after the hurricane and they are still sitting on top of the ground. I only have one successful plot and it is right next to a spring fed creek so the ground stays moist.

I planted Winter Wheat, Winter Greens, and Forage Oats. the rain from hurricane Matthew is the only reason any of it came up but they have suffered a lot from the drought. Hope next season is a lot better.

My plots are doing good for what little rain I've had. I planted some plots in Stokes County not far from Madison and it's bare ground. You can see where it came up but no rain to keep it alive.

The little chicory that made it is eaten to the ground, Durana clover is hanging in there pretty well in the shady areas and looking rough in the sunny ones. We are like 12 inches behind in rain here as well
