Default What about buckwheat?

One of the farmers, whose land I hunt, told me that his father used to grow buckwheat on their farm many years ago for their own use. He said that, even though there weren't nearly as many deer around back then, his father decided to stop growing it because the deer were chowing down on it big time. Other normally desireable crops could flourish, butthe buckwheat was kept mowed by the deer. He said he wasn't sure how available it is today since it's not commonly planted around his area (Western Md). Does anyone have any experience with buckwheat that would make it something I might want to include in my food plots? Desireability, availability, price, etc.?
