I was asking haystack and soilman about growing some different crops in my food plots. i was thinking about chufa but have never grown it and know nothing about it. Haystack directed me to you, said you grow the stuff.
Is this a fall planted seed thus providing nutrition in the early spring?
Would it be beneficial to plant it with my soybeans after the soybeans begin to wither? Does it need alot of moisture or sunlight? Does it need higher nitrogen or does it make nitrogen like soybeans and clover? I planted a couple rows of corn wider apart this year with the intent on planting something between them in the fall. I will let the corn stand until spring to provide food for turkeys and pheasants. If the rows are roughly 4 ft apart would that be enough sunlight for the chufa to grow. What is your #1 recommendation for me having the greatest success with this plant and where is the cheapest source you have found for the seed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zack
