Winter Wheat Available

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

Food plots are very attractive to wildlife enthusiasts because they can supplement 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 not only increase the wildlife population and their quality of health, but can also increase our opportunities for wildlife viewing.

To aid landowners who would like to plant wildlife food plots, Wildlife Mississippi is continuing its Wildlife Habitat Seed Program. Through this program, Wildlife Mississippi will make winter wheat 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 will be available through Wildlife Mississippi's Wildlife Habitat Seed Program.

If planted properly, the various types of seed will be utilized by a variety of species of wildlife. White-tailed deer, turkeys, bobwhite quail, mourning doves, waterfowl and many species of songbirds will benefit from the plantings of the variety of seed that are offered.

The guidelines regarding this program are simple and easy to follow. Anyone interested in obtaining winter wheat should send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Wildlife Mississippi with a request for an order form and planting recommendations for the seed.

Shipping and handling charges incurred by Wildlife Mississippi are included in the price of the winter wheat. The costs will be $8.00 per 50 lb. bag. Pick up locations will be Tupelo, Greenville, Madison and Hattiesburg.
