Buckwheat

Buckwheat is a warm season annual food plot crop that is extremely early maturing with seed yields as fast as 7-10 weeks after emergence. After flowering, the seed is reluctant to shatter, thus remaining on the stalk for long periods providing seed for for turkey, ducks, dove and other game birds throughout the summer months. Well suited to almost any soil type, the plant is attractive to deer and provides excellent summer food plot forage. Withstands grazing well and can be planted in poorer soils that are not well drained.
