I planted Egyptian wheat and teosinte side by side as a screen cover. Note that my intent was not for deer feed.

The EW did well. In fact, better than any other thing I had tried up until that point. Same as other crops that you don’t plant it thick so it can grow a good support system and it will stay standing. The leaves do dry up but typically don’t fall off at a rapid rate. Planted about 15 feet wide it will suffice.

For the teosinte (small eared maize type corn) it will grow very small ears. I did not add another crop with it as I did not want the deer to utilize it heavy. The stalks grew about ten feet tall and very thick leaves. The leaves do not fall off. Picture large field corn with very sturdy stalks without any large ears of corn. The only downfall is the amount of birds that utilize the patch when you are hunting. It is constant as there is seed everywhere. However, the birds have not weighed down the stalks and broke them at all. Send me a PM with your number and I will send you a picture of what a late patch of it looks like.
