I know there have been discussions about sunn hemp before and just wanted to say that Federer's in Cullman has the seed if anyone is looking. I bought them for $3 per lb. but its is based on how much you buy I think so it might be a bit higher or lower depending on how much. I am gonna try it in a couple of different places this spring.

I heard hemp seeds attracted helicopters, but I haven't planted any, so I don't know for sure.

there's a farmer in fruitdale al, (southwest) that sells it and my hunting buddy planted it last year. they like the stuff. we are going to try some this spring. it can grow up to 6 feet. here's the site

I didn't know it was used as deer forage but more of nitrogen fixing cover crop.

It's amazingly fast growing and deer will wear it out when the plants first establish and are initially putting out shoots. However, it will be 5-6 feet tall in just 2 months and then deer browsing pretty much ends. The ntirogen fixxing capability is worth the planting cost, as it provides about 100 lbs N to the acre. If you plant real dense it provides great cover for wildlife too.

I got a 50 lb bag in from Hancock Seeds this week. Mine were fresh off the boat, and I had to wait about a week for them to come in (the nice lady at Hancock's warned me of the wait). They get $110 per bag (shipping was about $30 to Panama City). Remember to get inoculant (use the same inoculant used on iron clay peas), about $9 from Hancock's. Here is a link:

I haven't planted yet so I don't know about germination, but the folks at Hancock were good to deal with.

If you plant sun hemp for a summer plot and then bush hog it. And then wait two weeks or so and then say disk and plant for fall greenfields .....I heard but haven't tried but was told that it will be very hard and time consuming to disk. ???? Does anybody have experience in planting fall grass or clover on a summer plot of sun hemp previous spot?

I planted half of a large food plot and left the other half as is. I'll know the results in the Fall but would like some feedback from someone who may already have previous experience.

It's like trying to disk corn or cotton stalk in!
