Buckwheat 
Seed 
Buckwheat is a valuable crop on many farms where the 
soil is thin or where other crops have failed. Many farmers 
make the mistake of believing that buckwheat will succeed 
well under any conditions. For best results prepare the 
seed bed carefully and apply fertilizer. It has no definite 
place in the rotation. Many farmers use it after plowing old 
sod land in the Spring or plowing up an old pasture. 
It may be seeded all of June and even as late as the early 
part of July, using one bushel of seed per acre. 
Buckwheat middlings have high protein content and are 
valuable for dairy feed. Likewise, the grain is important 
as a poultry feed. Buckwheat blossoms are fine for bees. 
Most growers prefer our Japanese variety of Buckwheat, 
which is a dark brown, good-sized kernel that yields well. 
“We appreciate your seeds very much. We have never had 
such luck with any other seeds which we bought at other com¬ 
panies. All our neighbors ask how we get such good crops. 
We have told several about your seeds. We are very thankful 
that we found out about them.”
