Seed Sources

[Walleyeguy13]

I've read a couple of discussions here regarding seed. It does seem to me that BOB seed is pretty expensive... even if you are only working a few acres of plots. For those who simply mix their own... what are your go-to sources for non-BOB seeds? Specifically, clover and winter rye.

Clover can be ordered from alot of places like seed world, Hancock, and seed ranch. Generally need smaller amount so shipping not bad for a bag or two.

Rye and grains are cheaper if bought at local seed and feed so you don’t pay shipping.

I buy from Merit Seed in Ohio. They have good prices and good shipping. I have purchased specialty seeds from Green Cover, but they are more expensive.

Large bags of rye or soybeans I would try to source locally because the shipping will be expensive no matter who you order from.

Cereal grains locally and smaller quantity stuff usually comes from Green Cover. I did just order some clover from Whitetail Institute. 16 lbs was $99 shipped before taxes. That's not terrible and plenty for my first seeding.

I've used many, but my current go-tos for clover are Merit Seed or Outside Pride. In the past I've used Deer Creek or Hancock.

I think Whitetail Institute is too expensive in general, but I have always been impressed with their quality.

Their imperial clover is really good stuff.
