I added a five acre field in 2023 which for years had been beans or corn. The last row crop on it was corn in 2022. I had no time to work it last year but the field erupted in thick, tall Chinese foxtail (think so anyway).
6'-7' tall and very thick. Birds love it--perhaps not turkey though. Deer have trails through it, but I'm wondering about the wildlife food value as a whole. I read that certain types of foxtail mixed with hay is no good for cattle/horses due to mouth sores, but whitetail deer are smart enough not to munch on the dry, seasoned seeds, yes?
Edit: Yes I posted a topic, Chinese Foxtail, in the "native" habitat forum. Apologies :-)
