any of you guys ever planted this stuff? i hunted a field of it in the delta right off the yazoo and shot alot of ducks.

whats your opinions?


EGYPTIAN WHEAT

Egyptian wheat (Shallu or chicken corn) has a misleading name because it a member of the sorghum family that bears large seed heads and is grown extensively for birds of all types and is high in protein and shatters freely when reaching maturity. Dove, quail and all gamebirds are naturally attracted because of the easy access to the seeds. Wheats can be grown in freestanding plantings or mixed with other food plot groupings. Plant at the rate of 10-15 lb. per acre not over ¾ inches deep. This sorghum requires higher rates of nitrogen for the best production of seed heads

not a good pic

the federal boy told them that that crop was a summer crop. says it grows in the summer months i guess. said that you have to plant a winter crop to dove hunt over. most wheat is a winter crop. thats y uou can hunt over it. if the field is done right. i am going by just what i am told and i saw the tickets. yall can tell me that i dont know what i am talking about and it want hurt my feelings b/c i am on the site to learn most of the time.

thanks.


and you can hunt anything that has already been harvested like corn.

Millet and Milo are no different from the Egyptian Wheat.....all 3 are summer crops and used mainly for doves. Either there was something extra added to the wheat or the fed was out to get them for something and came up with some bs excuse to do so and got away with it.
