Milo. I buy it by the 50# bag for $10-11 rather than the high priced bird seed, keeping the feeder going year-round. Cardinals especially, love it, as do squirrels and rabbits. Used to be Cardinals came and went with the weather. Now we have around 5 families that decided to just stay here and avoid the long trip up North and back.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
