Chufa seed is an excellent choice for planting wildlife food plots, especially for attracting and sustaining wild turkeys. A member of the sedge family, chufa produces small, nut-like tubers beneath the soil that turkeys instinctively scratch up and eat. Highly nutritious and packed with energy, chufa provides a reliable food source that supports turkey populations year-round.

Easy to grow in well-drained soils with full sun, chufa thrives in a variety of climates and is drought-resistant once established. In addition to turkeys, it also attracts deer, waterfowl, and other game birds, making it a versatile addition to any wildlife management plan.

Whether you're looking to enhance your hunting land or support local turkey populations, chufa seed is a proven, effective option for a productive and sustainable food plot.

Planting Guidelines for Chufa

1. Site Selection

  • Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.
  • Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture.
  • Chufa grows best in sandy or loamy soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.

2. Seedbed Preparation

  • Clear the area of weeds, grass, and debris.
  • Disk or till the soil to a depth of 4–6 inches for good seed-to-soil contact.
  • If soil pH is too low, apply lime to adjust it before planting.

3. Planting Time

  • Plant when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F (late spring to early summer).
  • The ideal planting window is April through July, depending on location.

4. Seeding Rate & Depth

  • Broadcast or drill 40–50 lbs. of chufa seed per acre.
  • Plant seeds 1–2 inches deep and cover with soil.
  • For small food plots, hand-spreading followed by light disking works well.

5. Fertilization & Weed Control

  • Apply 250–300 lbs. of 13-13-13 fertilizer per acre at planting.
  • Use a pre-emergent herbicide to control weeds or cultivate with light disking.
  • Once chufa is established, it shades out many weeds naturally.

6. Growth & Maturation

  • Chufa matures in about 90–110 days.
  • The plant develops grass-like foliage, but the tubers form underground.
  • Turkeys will begin scratching for tubers in late summer and fall.

7. Maintenance & Wildlife Access

  • To encourage turkey activity, mow or lightly disk a portion of the plot after tubers mature to expose some for easy feeding.
  • Rotate planting areas every 2–3 years to maintain productivity.

By following these planting guidelines, you’ll create a highly attractive and nutritious food plot that supports wild turkeys and other wildlife throughout the year.

Very interesting and informative travel guide for kids!
Format: Kindle
I do not have a kid myself but got a chance to travel with my niece to Washington DC recently. I was worried about how I could keep her interest and excitement during the trip, (as you know it is not always easy to travel with the kid when you are not experienced) and I am lucky enough to have found this book. This book is like a normal travel guide but it is specially designed for kids, with a lot of fun games, interesting information, and colorful layout. It asks you to fill in information such as when did you go, where did you do, etc, which I think it can serve as a memory book for my niece and remind her the trip when she grows up. I will definitely purchase more travel guide from the same series!

Great Lesson for Age 2 and Up
This was our day care's Book of the Month, for children age 2-4 years old. They are all learning to use manners with their peers, at the table and when addressing adults. The lesson took a few readings for the children to understand the point, but once they understood what the various characters WEREN'T doing, therefore getting a negative response from Mr Panda, and what they SHOULD be doing to receive a positive response, the lesson stuck with them. If a child forgets his manners, a hint ("How would you ask Mr Panda?") has good results. This book, while a good story to read aloud, may need some additional explanation by the adult reader at first. Mr Panda offers his friends a treat, and who doesn't like donuts?! When each animal's response is rude or selfish, Mr Panda abruptly withdraws his offer and moves on to someone else. When the final offer is made to a friend who uses his manners, he gets ALL the donuts, because as Mr Panda remarks at the end, he doesn't like donuts anyway. I don't know if this sets up unrealistic expectations, but it's a good lesson presented in an entertaining way.
