Need Seed For Your Food Plots?

Whether you are a photographer, hunter or like viewing wildlife, anyone who has spent time overlooking a food plot will have a deep appreciation for wildlife plantings.

Food plots are very attractive to wildlife because they can supplement their daily nutritional needs at a low cost. These plots can be designed to serve as a source of food and cover. Well-managed food plots have the potential to increase numbers of wildlife, quality of health and observability.

To aid landowners who would like to plant wildlife food plots, Wildlife Mississippi, working in cooperation with Resource Management, Inc. and Pioneer Hi-Bred International has initiated a Wildlife Habitat Seed Program. Through this program, Wildlife Mississippi will make seed available at a minimal cost.

The Wildlife Habitat Seed Program is designed to provide an incentive for landowners to establish and maintain food plots that will yield a variety of benefits to the landowner as well as the species(s) of wildlife he or she is managing.

Winter Wheat is available through the Spring of 2005 Wildlife Habitat Seed Program. All seed has been treated and has excellent germination rates. The seed is provided by Pioneer Hi-bred International and is distributed through Resource Management to the Foundation.

If planted properly, they will be utilized by a variety of species of wildlife. White-tailed deer, turkeys, bobwhite quail, mourning doves and many species of songbirds will benefit from these plantings.

The guidelines regarding this program are simple and easy to follow. Anyone interested in obtaining seed should fill out the order form below and send it along with a check to cover the costs to Wildlife Mississippi. Wildlife Mississippi will be taking orders up until August 12, 2005. This will allow the staff to place the orders in a timely manner to ensure that they will be filled.

Shipping and handling charges incurred by Wildlife Mississippi are included in the price of the seed. Persons ordering seed will be required to pick it up in Amory, Greenville or Hattiesburg.
