ONe thing for sure, the deer won't hurt it. I don't even think they will walk through it. not sure why it's called "Buck"wheat/
I planted mine the beginning of May. It has seeded out and dried down enough where the birds are starting to use it.
In my experience with it, the deer will eat it when its young but it can handle the grazing pressure and still makes it to the flowering/seed stage.

I just looked at my planting notes and I planted mine on June 30th. My experience as it pertains to deer is the same as Rebs, which makes it great for a dove field. The deer usually just nibble on it early on and then back off allowing it to bloom and seed out.

I shot a dang nice buck eating buckwheat a few years back. In my dove field, no less.

I think buckwheat would be good to plant around beans just to keep deer from entering field.
My first crop of buckwheat done great. It got knee high and nice thick stalks. That is until the deer discovered they could eat it. Now I can’t get it to grow over 3” before they mow it. Next year I guess I will put up a fence.
Any idea the value it has for hay for cattle?
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
you shoot women and children? thats just weird.
about as weird as thinking buckwheat is worth a shit
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I remember hunting that buckwheat with you back in the day. And yes you had a shit ton of birds. Pretty sure most people limited except for your buddy that stayed in the field until dark while nutz took electric shock collar Treatments
Only time I ever hunted over it that I can remember
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
so you're saying its awesome?
it still sucks
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
