The hatch is happening in NW IA and replanting plots.

I saw chicks yesterday and today in different places.
My food plots are a disaster as the birds are eating the the seeds from the ground, corn and sorghum. I replanted for the last time today. A week ago I started spreading shelled corn inside a hedgerow about a quarter mile long that is beside one of the good plots, I am thinking with easy food, maybe the last planting might have a chance. I planted most of the plots twice and about half 3 times. Now I would like one more nice rain to get this last planting going. I could see a few sorghum plants from the second planting, but not a lot. No corn from the first planting in the plots I replanted today, but those were already gone when I did the 2nd replant. They are make this much harder than it should be. I think this farm is at or over the maximum pheasant carrying capacity.

Wow, how big an area are you talking about ? My dad’s tales of killing pheasants in the corn fields have some basis then ?
 
I'm not far from NW Iowa so the bird hatch will be soon here too. Rain would be welcomed, just not a flood.
