Deer and hogs really like it. If you are planting it for a food plot, I suggest considering a beardless variety. Just the regular old russian beardless works about as good as anything, and it can usually be had relatively inexpensive.

How much to plant per acre depends on a lot of things. The condition of your ground, your planting equipment, germination rates, etc. For most food plots, I would say 90 lbs/acre would be a good start if using a good grain drill. Probably closer to 110-120 lbs/acre if broadcasting.

If your plot is larger than one or two acres, have soil samples taken, and pay particularly close attention to the nitrogen levels.

If your plot is smaller than that, I'd probably skip the soil sample and just add nitrogen. If the older tissue on the plants, primarily the lower leaves, show signs of rust, chlorosis, and/or firing, I would add more.
