    Anyone have experience planting sorghum?? I came across twenty bags of seed and was thinking of planting a few acres or it for pheasant habitat and a winter food source

    I’ve planted I before and it makes great pheasant habitat.
    You see a lot of it in places like SD.
    Great winter cover as they will have trails in it under snow.
    I can’t say I saw much sign of them eating it.
    I did notice it was tough to dig in in the following spring…like the mistake I made of planting Rye “grass” !

    I have not tried sorghum, but always wanted to. We just don’t have many pheasants at the farm, but I have heard deer love it too, late season.

    If you’re going to go through the trouble of planting sorghum, buy a couple of bags of millet to go with it. Pheasant candy.
