I thought about this very topic a couple of months back. I am going to this year in the latter part of August. However, I think this midwest drought is gonna throw a wrench in my plans. I think watchin most crop fields is gonna be a bust around here.....Unless WE GET RAIN!!!!

I do remember this was discussed here a couple years back, or maybe last year. Can't find the thread though...

Yes, I think it helps..........

At the end of this week, moon is overhead within that hour before sunset.......... should be a good time to glass before dark... For my location in Southern WI, it says for Friday, moon overhead at 8:17pm and sunset at 8:27pm. I would think the Thurs - Sat should all be good prime days to glass the fields.... I know I'm going to try anyway.....
