I read in the recent field and stream about planting winter wheat for a quick spring plot for turkeys...so seeing as we already sprout winter wheat for our chickens and we needed to order another bag, I ordered 2 of course. Went out this morning and planted a small spot in my spring plot where the clover didn't come up very good (my fault, rest of the clover looks real good). So we'll see how that works out. Anyways, from between about 11:30-12:10 this morning had 1 Jake and 7 hens walk through the property! 12 days fellas!!

if you want to plant a CHEAP fast growing food plot for turlkeys, look into Buck wheat, grows like a weed seeds are cheap, and turkys will ove you for it, and flock to your grounds, seeds are cheap too, and it grows in poor soils
and maybe just as good, it will keep the soil easier to turn over for a fall deer plot too!, just come back in late summer turn plot over, add any needed lime, or fert and add your fall plot seeds, be them rape turnip or>>
and OH yeah, deer love buck wheat too, so its a great spring plot
winter wheat is typically planed in the fall, just before forst time, by a few weeks, so most folks plant it way in advance to get a good take the following yr!
Like I said only planted a small spot to see what happens. Also when we sprout it for our chickens, we divide it into small containers and in about 6-7 days its already a good 6" tall. Had another 12 hens and 2 big toms with about 8-10" beards in the plots this morning. 45 minutes later across the road was another 10 birds.
