Here in Minnestoa I've noticed Buckwheat does not produce honey
reliably on heavy black soil. The same variety of seed in a sandy loam
though with good weather usually produces an August and early Sept
crop.

Migratory and other beekeepers produce a fair amount in this state as
we have an active Buckwheat Growers Association in NW Mn and the
southern region has a lot fof organic growers who plant it as a green
manure.

The honey sells at a premium here.
