The Wildlife Habitat Seed Program is designed to provide an incentive for landowners to establish and maintain food plots
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, is continuing its 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 of wildlife he or she is managing.

Winter wheat and soybeans are currently available through the 2008 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 Inc. to Wildlife Mississippi.

If planted properly, these food plots will be utilized by a variety of species of wildlife.

White-tailed deer, turkey, quail, doves and many species of songbirds will benefit from these plantings. Furthermore, erosion can be lessened.

The guidelines regarding this program are simple and easy to follow.

Anyone interested in obtaining seed should send a written request to Wildlife Mississippi.

The order should contain the amount(s) of seed requested.

Wildlife Mississippi will be taking orders until Aug. 29. You also may order online with your credit card.

This will allow the staff to place the orders with Resource Management Inc. in a timely manner to ensure that the orders will be filled.

Each participant will be notified by mail when the seed is available for pickup.

There will be a fee to help cover trucking/administrative fees incurred by Wildlife Mississippi. The costs will be $8 per 50-pound bag of wheat and $10 per 50-pound bag of soybeans.

Persons ordering seed will be required to pick up the seed in Amory, Greenville, Ridgeland or Hattiesburg.

Here is the order form.
