We used to grow soybeans loaded with millet on 30 acres behind a insurance salesman we knew house. Had to have it cut and baled before labor day which was opening day of dove season. Any of his clients that wanted to hunt were welcomed. So were we.
It was amazing watching them fly up as we mowed, raked, bailed, and got up the hay. I spent many hours each of several years in that field prepping, planting, and having it. Much of it alone. What a wonderful time that was. Hunting it was icing on the cake
