Deer decimate sunflowers, pea's and other legumes, but I've found that they browse buckwheat up here, but you can mow it, let that feed the soil while another crop is growing, then mow that. I'm talking about 1 acre or larger fields. Small fields I would just let grow up naturally, they are not large enough to feed deer.


I agree with you…..I’m really answering a little bit different question than what Joe asked…..

Don’t think deer won’t eat millet though…..They’ll browse the tops out after it emerges just like cereal grains…I just watched them do it on our new lease a couple months ago. It surprised me too.
