Planted between July 10th and 15th so 42 to 47 days in the ground. I don't remember the exact date this particular field was planted.

Those fields looked good when you showed them to me last weekend. Ought to be a lot of happy turkeys soon.

And yet all the literature says chufas require 90-110 days to produce tubers. Just proves you can't believe everything you read. Looks like you are making a tremendous crop this year. Most of my fields are producing already too, and a big problem I've got now is that the turkeys are scratching them up long before they reach max production.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

I was really surprised that I still had chufas in a couple of smaller 1/4 acre plots I planted. The turkeys were hitting them pretty hard right after planting but they looked really good last week.
And FINALLY after 7 years of trapping coons hard this is the first year that I haven't seen coons digging them up!

Mine looked great until hogs appeared on our place and have destroyed them over the last two weeks. Two years ago there was a little hog sign in a chufa plot and on one road and we got a pic of a big boar but he only stayed around a short period of time but it appears some are back now. It pisses me off! That's something to be pissed off about!
