Millet + Ducks
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 4:12 pm
Never have planted it, don't know much about it.
As far as the 'crop', it looks awesome. amazingly, I think we got a 99% stand or close to it. Knocked back the weeds, got stand, got blind.
What do ya'll do about a 'landing' area? I know they don't like to land in standing stubble (at least not on us).
Thinking about cutting/bushhogging/disking strips before the plants put on heads? Have even thought of spraying/burning off a few 'spots' to allow for easy access/ Ducks. We have access via roads to/from blind so that shouldn't be an issue.
The guy planting it got a tad carried away so we're literally wall to wall millet (not a bad thing). It was planned to leave out a few openings but it didn't happen (again, not a bad thing).
Do ya'll worry about it? Just throw the water to it and let it go?
Give me some opinions.
