NWTF chufa on sale now

Got turkeys? If you want to keep them close consider planting some chufa, which is a tuber that makes a nut just below the ground's surface which is where turkeys love to scratch for food. The National Wild Turkey Federation is having a sale on its chufa, with planting season in early summer winding down. Lowcountryoutdoors.com orders chufa every year from NWTF and can report that the 2009 shipment, which comes from Spain, was held up in the port of Charleston for upwards of one month - presumably in quarantine. The seed was eventually delivered to NWTF customers, and they have more to sell. Chufa requires a 90 to 110-day growing season, and you'll need 50-pounds to the acre. A fifty-pound bag will cost $80 right now, and not the regular price of $132. Call 1-800-The-NWTF if you wish to place an order.
