Product Information

Egyptian Wheat is well suited for game birds, especially quail. Egyptian Wheat provides great cover for quail and other game birds while also dropping seed over 180 - 200 days.  Seed will mature approximately 110 days after emergence. Egyptian wheat also makes excellent cover for quail.

Egyptian Wheat is a commonly known as shallu or chicken corn.  Egyptian Wheat has a misleading name (wheat) but it is actually a member of the Sorghum family.  Egyptian Wheat is a tall growing species (10 ft) of sorghum that matures in approximately 110 days. The best time for planting is after the last chance of frost in the spring for summer food plots.  Egyptian Wheat is especially preferred in plots for game birds due to its high protein seed production.  Egyptian wheat also provides excellent cover for quail and other game birds.

The placement of Egyptian Wheat can have a huge strategic impact on your plot. Many hunters like to create smaller, "micro" plots, using Egyptian Wheat. The very tall Egyptian Wheat (more than 10 feet) can be used to create "walls" for a smaller section of food plot, where the deer feel more comfortable. This is the best area in your food plot to set up a blind, enclosure or hunting stand.

~~~

Egyptian Wheat Seed will thrive in any one of the three climate zones, and should be planted during either the Spring or the Summer. Spread Egyptian Wheat seed at a rate of 30 to 50 lbs. per acre, and fertilize with a high-nitrogen blend of fertilizer. Cover seed at a depth of half-an-inch. Egyptian should reach its peak maturity after 110 days, and will continue to drop seed until between 180 and 200 days.

The seed heads will shatter naturally when they reach maturity, however for best results, hunters interested in attracting turkey, wild quail and doves should use a mechanical means to knock down at least some of the plants. Deer aren't the only mammals that enjoy the taste of Egyptian Wheat; squirrels are known to climb up the tall-growing stalks and getting to the seeds before anybody else.

Many food plot planters have had success when combining both Egyptian Wheat seed and Cowpea seed to create a plot that attracts all manners of mammals and game fowl. The Egyptian Wheat provides all of its usual benefits, such as providing cover for deer and an excellent source of forage for turkey, doves, and quail, but its strong stalks provide a base that the Cowpeas can use to gain elevation off the ground. The Cowpeas will provide further forage for the deer to feed on during the Summer months. This combination will provide a nearly year-round blend of forages for deer, squirrel and most desired bird species.

Cute visor
Size: One Size, Color: Navy
This hat fits my smaller head perfectly. I like the length of the brim and the height of the hat in the front as I have some that are too big. It was comfortable even after wearing it on a longer day of golf.

Really nice, comfortable and well made.
Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black
I got two of these to replace a couple that I had bought at thrift stores and just wore until they are threads. They're difficult to find anymore unless you buy them brand new. These adjust easily with the velcro, they quickly absorb sweat in the thick band. It provides good protection of my face when I'm outside working during the day in the Sun. They feel like they are quality, the fabric is smooth and silky, the stitching is tight and they're not heavy on my head. The brim is thick enough to block all the Sun, the lining is soft and fuzzy against your skin. Great value, priced nice for the quality.

Cute visor but very bright
Size: One Size, Color: Lime, Size: One Size, Color: Lime
This is a super cute visor, got it for softball - fits well (adjusted small enough for a 10 year old girl and big enough for an adult woman) and the quality is good. Dirt brushes right off. But the color is very bright, it IS a neon green which we weren’t expecting, but we like it, my daughter thinks it’s super cute, so we are keeping it! I discovered it is super hard to get this color to photograph well, so the picture the seller has probably is the best they could do. After messing around with it for far too long I think I got an accurate representation of the color in my photo.

Light weight but durable. Inexpensive but still classy. I sought out Augusta Sportswear because they're good people. Their quality products are reliable. They care.
