Leave it. There's still green natural vegetation out there. Wait till a frost kills everything & see what happens.

I wish I had your problem. You must have got some GOOD rain. I had to re-plant a couple of my plots 2 weeks ago.

the deer are going to eat it........jus wait til there supply of acrons and green leaves etc. die off and u will think someone came in with a bushhog......ours is about 2 feet tall and i have seen a few deer comin in there to eat it

another way of seeing if they are eatin it is to go walk through it and see if u see the tops sniped off

it's your call..... they'll eat it once the other browse dies off, but it doesn't hurt to clip it back IF you think we'll have some warm weather for the new growth to establish itself..... what variety of wheat, oats, and clover ?
Sun rise in the east.... and it sets up in the West, yes the sun rise in east baby, and it sets up in the west..... It's hard to tell, hard to tell, hard to tell, which one, which one I love best.....

wheat gets bitter as it gets bigger......put some amonia on it and it will sweetin it back up and they will hammer it.....
