My guess is 1975 seeds

Been busy doing the same thing brother

Hey brother Jefe. Have a nice meal. Happy to know you're also born again.

Praying for you, great vid!

Cool man! Thanks! On that inside burlap with out camo on it you can break that solid pattern up with some vertical spray paint in dark brown, black or dark green. I see you overlapped some, but likely not enough material for all. I love burlap for blind material. It works great. Oh, and the dove stools are freaking awesome!

Bro.... Vietnam...

Cover weeds are either Coffee senna or Sicklepod. Hard to control in ag fields. I sure hope you all have a great shoot. I just found out that our Georgia season doesn't open until 9/7. I just burned my Dove Proso Millet today. Millions of toasted seeds on the ground. I think Wednesday I'll mow my sunflowers down to spread the seed. Again, good luck on your shoot. You all will certainly have fun.

Love your videos. Sorry for your bad luck with the storm. I am in same type area as you are down in coastal SC. One trick an old timer told me about is to pick up blown down heads and throw them in an a small mesh bottom utility trailer to get them off the ground to keep from rotting. They will dry out and you can then tow trailer down your prepped rows and seed will fall out while bouncing around. I asked local game warden about it and his opinion was told to keep legal trailer has to stay in the field. Maybe it could work for you? P.S. we call your cover weed Sicklepod. We fight it a lot!

Your sunflower fields are very clean of grass and weeds. Birds seem to like a clean field a little better. Beautiful farm too.

Great message at the end!

Great job , gonna be easy to retrieve downed birds in that field

I love that song 🎧

Thanks for the update! I didn't get that much rain, but the wind really broke some and laid some over. I walked it today and saw seeds on the ground under some heads as well as dove in there feeding. I have a lot of Dove Proso Millet that is ready. I mowed a 75 yard strip about 12 feet wide and there is seed everywhere on the ground and on top of the mower. I'm sure hoping we have the birds come opening day.

What do you use for pre emergent on your sunflower fields?

Thanks for the update. It's neat to see the ones that survived.

Do you grow a cover crop over the winter? It would certainly help with your organic matter and CEC

I'm in central Florida. Luckily it didn't get worse than a 1 and passed us by. We just got heavy rain and some wind. It's still raining as we're getting the back end of the bands. Will probably be like this all day. The further over land it goes the weaker it will get so you'll probably get rain and winds. What I like is afterwards you get to see birds that only stay out at sea inland. Like frigate birds.

So beautiful and peaceful out there. Nice to see so many birds.

Hopefully Betty will not push the doves out of the area.

Thanks for the update. Yeah the birds are weighing the power lines down for sure. Take care and hopefully Debby will pass you by. I'm hoping for the same.

You can't beat spring standing rye grain for small game. I'm in Central nc myself.

What kind of sunflowers are they?

I like them in this stage too. If you don't keep any for yourself how do you plant for next year? I love birds too. My sunflowers are also spent. I'll probaby start another batch but on a small scale for my yard.

Do you have any clover growing around the fruit trees and feeder? And try out a blend this fall of a cereal grain, legume, and a brassica! The power of nature feeding itself with all those plants helping each other is really cool!

I love the one you showed and there was another short one with a big head. Cool how clean the rows are for sure. I'm very happy because today my tallest one opened up and it has dark red petals and a small head. Looks funny way up there. It was seed I kept from last year from a red one that got crossed with an American Giants.

This is beautiful!

Nice little update. So beautiful. I love the the ones that are tall and multiheaded ones. I planted a small packet of unknowns last year and got a dark red one. So happy to hear you're a born again believer in Christ. My house is also. My husband and I were saved when we were children. Definitely count our blessings one by one.

What a lovely field of sunflowers. I'll be happy to watch your garden's progress. I'm curious how many seeds you'll get at the end of the season. I should try to plant something like this though I don't have a lot of seeds. I have a few sunflowers in my yard. Mine never get taller than 5 feet unfortunately. The tallest one I ever had was rare it was almost 6 feet. I'm in central Florida zone 9b.

Do you ever use an owl decoy in the mix?

Looking good! I bet them deer are licking their lips waitin for a shot at them things!

El Jefe! Nice crop of sunflowers! Definitely need some pointers!
