Sesame???

Anybody ever planted any for doves? Heard it’s incredible for doves. I kinda like doing the different. It’s expensive but I think I could get enough seed for $75-$100. It looks really “stalky” so I like that it’s not a grass type like your millets. I’m letting my ground rest from sunflowers this year and looking for something different.
FWIW. I know millet is good. I’ve planted millet. It’s fine, but I’m not planting millet. Too much material left over after bushhogging and I’m not in a position to burn it or bale it.

Never seen it in person, but a serious bird hunter I knew years ago from SC claimed it was awesome.

Why don't you try it and report back. Seed looked a little high when I saw it this spring.

Plan on it. It kinda looks similar to sunhemp. Probably gonna wait till mid May to plant. Hancock had 15lbs for $79. Kinda pricey but I figured if all I get is a couple limits with lil’ girl sitting beside me, it’ll be worth it.

While it's expensive, it only takes 6# per acre.

It's a main ingredient in lots of bird seed, Sam's version of Premium bird seed is full of it. You'd get a dukes mixture of sunflower, millet and sesame seeds as well as others I'm sure. It should make a heck of a dove field.
I like to plant scratch feed, it's comes up good if it's top sowed and barely disked in a couple of weeks before the season

Wonder why it's so high?..with the seeds that small doves should love it.

Did you end up planting it?

Between the wind being too strong to spray and rain seemingly every other day, I’ve not got around to planting. I got field sprayed Saturday. Most likely plant Thursday or Friday!
