Twice each year, Wildlife Mississippi makes low-cost seed available to private landowners
and public land managers for wildlife plantings. When planted properly, the seed
will be utilized by a variety of wildlife. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, northern
bobwhite, mourning dove, waterfowl and many species of songbirds will benefit from
plantings.
Corn, grain sorghum, and soybean seed will be available through the 2021 Wildlife
Habitat Seed Program. All seed has been treated and has excellent germination rates.
Winter wheat will be offered for pre-order in the Spring. Shipment of winter wheat
will not be until the Fall distribution, which will be in September.
Those ordering seed will be required to pick it up at distribution sites in Amory,
Greenville, Hattiesburg or Flowood.

On average, our Spring seed distribution begins mid-April. you desire to
plant earlier than this, this program may not be for you. We will contact you by
phone, USPS mail, and email to ensure that you are aware of your pickup location,
dates, and times. This will be done after we have received all seed, typically two
weeks prior to distribution. Failure to pick-up your seed order at the time of distribution
will result in loss of payment and seed. Distribution areas WILL NOT hold seed after
the assigned pickup dates.
Seed pickup dates will be announced as soon as possible on this page and on
Wildlife Mississippi's Facebook page.
