Gordo pointed out that on that sized plot it just isn't going to yield enough to make it worth while.

You would get more bang for your buck with potatos, especially sweet potatos.

And unless you know what that seed is, it is just bird seed.

Can't tell by looking at it, maybe a PHd wheat breeder could, but most folks can't.

Seeding rate here is a bushel and half per acre. So say 90 lbs on 43,560 square feet. You have 400 square feet, so you would need .8 lb.

I have sown a lot of wheat for food plots or cover crops on pond dams, etc. I use one of the little hand, crank seeders. Walk it on, then set the disk straight and shallow and disk it in to cover. Alway works for me.
