How does the wildlife treat buckwheat?

They will mow it down here. First time I planted it did great. Once they figured it out, done. Every time I plant it now they eat it as soon as it comes up.

Thank you sir. I bought some ol rough mountain ground (27 acres) that was mature hardwoods 8 years ago. The seller cleared and stumped it, and intended to make a pasture out of it. That never happened and its all broom sage now. In a perfect world the land needs about 100 tons of lime. Thats a bit out of my budget, so im going to disc it and plant buckwheat to try to build the soil up this summer. Maybe have a good dove shoot before I plant fall deer plots.

That will certainly help build the soil. Let it goto seed then bush hog it. Plow it under before it goes to seed and plant wheat oats or rye Grain. It certainly want replace lime or amend your soil
