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. Watching them play their little games is amusement in itself.....the Cocks had rather fight than eat.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
