To All Buckwheat Honey Producers

1) Have there been any definitive studies regarding planting of buckwheat
and the return per acre in pounds of honey?

2) Has one had experience in the production of buckwheat for honey and if
so how many acres of drilled buckwheat is needed to produce a honey crop?

3) In my neck of the woods after the end of July we no not have a nectar
flow until the asters and goldenrods of September and October. With honey
prices up along with the antioxidant qualities of buckwheat honey the
planting of buckwheat after the harvest of winterwheat would produce a
buckwheat bloom that dovetails right into the full month of August.
Question is: Dependent upon knowing yields would this be profitable?
