Open Pollinated sorghum that will produce grain for wildlife. Used for spring and summer food plots for deer and game birds. High tannins at first growth which keeps birds and wildlife away until late summer. A mature plant will be 26-30″ tall with seed becoming marginally palatable at maturity. As it stands in the weather, it loses tannic acid and becomes more and more palatable through the fall.
