The club has been in a severe drought condition for most of the late spring and early
summer, but got 1" to 2" of rain in the last two weeks.
We have found something that might actually work for food plots (so long as it gets some rain)
The tall stuff is cowpeas, and the short stuff is Alyceclover.
There's no telling what it would look like if it hadn't been hit with a 1 1/2 month drought.
There was a good turnout at the meeting. A few rules were changed.
