Chufas
may be the perfect perennial forage
plant for wild turkey food plots. The
plants produce nut like subterranean
tubers that wild turkeys love. The
tubers are very nutritious and high
in fat and protein. The chufa plant
itself is very hardy. Once established,
a chufa food plot will last for years.
To insure your plot
survives, be sure the plot is large
enough to support your wild turkey
population. Wild turkeys will destroy
a food plot containing chufas if the
grazing pressure is too high. Chufas
should be planted after all danger
of frost and are most successful in
areas of the country with at least
180 frost-free days. Chufas will grow
in poor soils and respond well to
fertilizer. Plant about 10 lbs per
1/4 acre and be sure not to plant the
seed too deep. No more than 1/2 inch
deep.

Note: Chufas cannot
be shipped to Michigan. Call your local
politicians for details.
