Is there a way to keep the turkeys out of a freshly planted field? Thanks No. All I know to do is to plant enough seed to make up for what they get. Or broadcast cracked corn in the surrounding areas, to keep them distracted. I have a bigger problem with the dang crows. I have never tried that; I guess it could work if you really put out a lot. There are always critters that are willing to eat chufas at the wrong time. Crows can really do a lot of damage, and so can coons. I had a lot of damage to a patch by squirrels last year. But turkeys can be the worst of all if a flock gets a taste for them. I've had freshly planted fields completely ruined when a group of turkeys found them and decided to stay there. Most years it doesn't happen, but I think it is like a tiger that gets a taste for humans and there is no stopping them. You only need a short term fix. Once the chufa plants get about 4" tall the turkeys will leave them alone. If you have good conditions when you plant, that shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks. I have thought that it might work to put a radio in the field, but I've never tried it. Good luck to all with the problem. That's what the chicken wire does. They can't scratch through it. But like I said---Lots of work.
