Buckwheat 50# Bags

Wetsel Seed™ Buckwheat Seed is a versatile crop cultivated for its grain-like seeds and widely used as a cover crop. The grain is rich in lysine, an essential amino acid lacking in many other grains, making it a valuable feed supplement for cattle, pigs, and chickens when ground and mixed with other grains, though it should make up no more than one-third of the mix. While buckwheat hay has low forage value, the plant is excellent for improving soil structure, loosening heavy soils, suppressing summer weeds, and attracting beneficial insects. It can also be grown as a productive seed crop.
