I wouldn’t plant it for a dove field. I’ve used it for a screen with success. Walker, too heavy a crop and it’ll stunt itself and won’t get tall enough. Go with a lighter seeding rate to ensure adequate height, but go with a wider strip to allow it to lean on itself. I had good luck with about 10 pounds per acre, and planted in a strip about 30’ wide. I planted the last week of May or the first week of June, and got 10-12 foot height. Hit it with a good dose of nitrogen when it gets about knee high. How long does it stay green?

Going to treat the dove field as a summer deer plot. Hopefully the surrounding corn and soybeans take the pressure off. Was wanting to plant some sort of cover for deer around the plot. Would have a buffer around plot and would bush hog some back to find birds and such.
