Almost got screwed this year due to lack of rain. I planted 2 days before a 90% rain prediction, but never got a drop. The seed sat for 3 weeks before we finally got a shower. The birds had a field day during that time, but it seems enough was covered.

I hunted this plot last week one eve and saw 11 doe and 2 bucks munching down on the wheat:

Your plot is looking much better than mine. We went from the last week of Aug. til mid Oct. without any rain, so I waited and planted the morning before the Oct. rain. We got .7" and that was enough to get the wheat and oat up and going. It was suppose to rain 2 weeks ago, so I lightly top dressed with 8-8-8, but no rain came. Plot looks ok, but we need a rain.
