Yoon asked:
Instead of identifying the purchase source, why not simply identify the
brand or species so that people can purchase locally?

Waldemar asked the oiginal question and sent me an email thanking me. I
think Lapp's Buckwheat seed was what he was looking for!

None of my sources have provided a brand or species. Perhaps if you call
Lapp's 800 number they can help Yoon.

The Amish were the only source for Buckwheat seed I found in Missouri when I
looked.

I doubt you will find a big selection in Oklahoma.

 Certain varieties of soybeans are not worked by the bees. From what has
been posted on the list it seems the same applies to Buckwheat. I doubt a
bee supply house would handle a Variety the bees would not work.

The bees  worked the buckwheat I planted from the Amish but no Variety was
listed as I believe the Amish gathered the seed . I will try to find out
about their Buckwheat seed (Variety)  when I see the Amish in a little over
a week.

The Amish tell me you can get four plantings a year from Buckwheat in the
same field  by turning under and replanting. I broadcast my Buckwheat seed
in the wet soil of river bottoms after a rain and the seed came right up.
