We gots about 6 acres of chufa planted between 2 tracts. We got it in the ground late b/c it was so dry for so long and then it was too wet. Well, it has been in the ground for 8 days and has germinated and looks beautiful. Our problem has been the turkeys plucking the immature sprout and eating the seed. At the current rate of consumption, in about 2 weeks there will not be anything left that will reach maturity. What can we do to keep the birds off of it so it can grow to maturity? Scarecrows? Owl decoys?
