    Most Feed and Seed stores carry it.

    Any field you plant can only be replanted in Chufas three consecutive years. It will come back a second year if the birds don't eat it all. But plan on planting it every year and decide on how you are going to rotate your plots. If you plant them all with chufas, in three years you will be sorry.

    I have never tried it. I take it that it is just like a food plot?

    Chufa is a perennial and you will most likely get a second years growth from it. I've heard of some people getting 3 or more years. Turkey, as well as deer and waterfowl love it. Cabela's offers 5 different brands to choose from in their Spring Turkey Catalog.
