Large corporate seed producers sometimes have surplus seed we obtain at enormous discounts.  Varieties include: milo, winter wheat, lespedeza, field corn, soybeans, and sunflowers.  If you would like to obtain seed for wildlife plots, please notify a chapter officer.

A Word on Quail Food:  Many of us plant milo and millet, which are both annual grass-crops that are good cover and food producers.  In the meantime, we have forgotten that plants like lespedeza, partridge peas, begger's lice and some wildflowers all produce valuable brood-rearing cover as well.  More importantly, the seeds from these plants have a slower degradation rate, meaning that the seeds are nutritious for longer time periods and are often critical for late winter feeding.  The best time on plant is in February or March, while frosts are still occuring.  The warm-cold, wet-dry cycles work to break the seed dormancy, yielding better germination.  All of these plants require minimal site preparation as long as soil is visible.  Partridge pea can be planted as late as early May with good results.
