I would like to plant some smartweed seed for the ducks, but there are lots of varieties. What variety do I want?

Bob, maybe you should give Corey Mason a call. He is the waterfowl biologist for East Texas. His number is (903) 675 4177.

Thanks Chris. Talked with Corey Mason at TP&W. He knows a lot of stuff.
Chris recommends Pennsylvania smartweed or pink smartweed (same plant). Smartweed has to go through a cold cycle, so we should plant this Fall, and we will see the results next Spring.
Chris says a good source of smartweed seed is Turner Seed 800 722-8616 or Native American Seed 800 728-4043.
If we want to plant something now for the ducks that will come this winter, plant Japanese millet.

At Turner Seed Co. in Breckenridge, TX, pink smartweed seed is $9/lb.
