Wild Game Food (WGF) Grain Sorghum was specifically developed as a fall and winter food source for upland game birds (quail, turkey, pheasant and prairie chicken) and migratory birds (ducks, geese and doves).
WGF Grain Sorghum is a heavy seed producing, early maturing (43 to 50 day midbloom) strain developed specifically for upland game and migratory birds. The OK Agricultural Experimental Station and Oklahoma State University cooperatively released WGF. Since that time, the product has been widely used throughout the US. Unlike many conventional grain sorghum hybrids, WGF imparts a bitter grain taste to predatory birds (sparrows, blackbirds, starlings etc.) during the milk and dough stages of development. The bitter taste disappears at maturity of the plant.
The reddish brown color is only in the pericarp layer of the seed and acts as a mold and rotting inhibitor of the grain during exposure to winter weather conditions. In addition to providing a non-weathering and non-rotting winter food source, the crop residue provides an excellent source of beneficial cover for birds.
