My biggest problem is that I'm rarely at my farm at daybreak, so it's hard to tell if they're eating all the goodies.
Bruce,

No it's not too late. You may have to skip a few feedings and then only offer them food at daybreak. However I question you have densities to worry about ammonia spikes etc. My 1/10 acre trout pond will have 500 lbs. of trout by fall. My 1/10th acre perch pond that receives nutrients from the trout pond has about 70 yellow perch of a minium weight of 1 lb. My bass pond had over 200 bass of at least 2 lbs a piece along with smallmouth and bluegills.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
