[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 1530578, member: 8855"] There has been some concern with a toxin that can contaminate corn and possibly kill bobwhite quail. I had heard about a wildlife biologist from Texas that was advocating switching to a pea instead of corn. The corn contains approximately 5-6% protein while the pea contains about 20% protein but does not have the toxin. This product would be superior because the quail and turkey could eat it with no fear as well as other songbirds. This sounds great to me as long as the price is reasonable. Well, today I was updating Tom Ross,Ross Seed Co. about the "GameKeeper" soybeans that I had just gotten from him and just planted. He was glad I called because he wanted to tell me about a new type of pea that he has been looking at. You guess it....... its the same pea. He said corn is now around $9.00/ 50#bag and he thinks the bag of peas will be a little higher. Comparing 5-6% protein + a possible toxin vs. 20% protein and no toxin this could be a good value. I suspect that the pea will work fine in a spin feeder. I hope to have more info on this shortly and maybe get to trial it this summer on my deer herd. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
