Planting & Care

Soil and Water: Soil should have adequate organic matter and should have a fine texture. Maintain adequate moisture to germinating seeds. Do not over-water once plants become established.

Planting and Growing: Direct seed from mid-April through May into rows spaced at least 24" apart. Seeds are small so mixing with some sand will help with distribution. Grows best in cool, dry conditions and will fail if temperatures are too hot.

Harvesting and Storage: Harvest primary seed heads when they are still brightly colored, thresh by rubbing the head. Clean grain with a 1/8" mesh and winnowing.
