never planted it in my plots,but there are a few sogrom felds around where I hunt and I see turkeys in the feilds feeding all the time.after they cut the socrum the birds really go to the fields.if I were to plant for the birds and didn't want chufa,I would mix some field oats and sogrum,mix in a few peanuts,they love the nuts and deer like the green from the peanut vines.all three will reseed them slef.
