I've tried buckwheat 3 times with varying success, but not for 8 or 10 years. Its a different crop to grow, plant late, never speak the word frost within 3 miles of the crop, swath late and leave it for a long while. Yield depends a great deal on weather and pollination I think.
There were $15/bu contracts out there this spring. There are a couple new varieties out that are supposed to yield better. Call Vandaele Seeds in Medora, MB (204) 665-2384. They had seed, contracts and info earlier this spring I believe.
