Variety: Mancan

Summer annual which can be used as a green manure crop. An early maturing wheat suitable for almost any type soil. Seeds remain on stalk after ripening, providing food over extended period of time.

Buckwheat is a short-season cash crop with properties that can make it fit specific situations on your farm. While it is unlikely to be your main crop, it can be a worthwhile part of your overall farm plan.

Order still not fulfilled…

I am surprised I was invited do give a review. It has been nearly a month since I placed my order. There was no notice about buckwheat being out of stock or delayed when I ordered. I have contacted Seed Barn twice about updates, and all I’ve heard back is, ‘next week’ and ‘soon.’ If it isn’t in, say it isn’t in and give me a date. I’ll be cancelling my entire order as soon as one month elapses. I don’t understand this at all.
