Egyptian Wheat has a misleading name (wheat) but it is actually a member of the Sorghum family. Egyptian Wheat is a tall growing species (10 ft) of sorghum that matures in approximately 110 days. The best time for planting is after the last chance of frost in the spring for summer food plots. Egyptian Wheat is especially preferred in plots for game birds due to its high protein seed production. Egyptian wheat also provides excellent cover for quail and other game birds. The placement of Egyptian Wheat can have a huge strategic impact on your plot. Many hunters like to create smaller, "micro" plots, using Egyptian Wheat. The very tall Egyptian Wheat (more than 10 feet) can be used to create "walls" for a smaller section of food plot, where the deer feel more comfortable. This is the best area in your food plot to set up a blind, enclosure or hunting stand.
