At Springdale Co-Op, They got 100 bags in this morning and were down in the 70's when I picked mine up. I think it was $14.59 for 50# bag. It was seed wheat. They weren't sure if they were getting more.

So food plot seed is now in a shortage?

I imagine they are trying to manage inventory a bit better than in the past.
That seems cheap for seed wheat?

What price is everyone seeing for seed? Farmers association in LR has wheat for $16.99 per 50lb bag and rye for $26.99. Local Ace store has wheat for $24.99 lol.
Anybody plant feed wheat? There is a place in Hazen selling it for $240 per ton.

I have done the feed oats before also and had good results. I’ve never tried the wheat though.

I plant non certified wheat every year - a couple tons of it. My source for seed ran out of the non certified variety last year and I had to buy some higher dollar certified seed - I could not tell any difference.

I bought a bag at Andersons in Rogers/Avoca, non-certified, about $10.

So what is certified seed? It is inspected by the state and determined to be pure and free of weed seed? And non-certified is just harvested by the farmer and planted or sold without inspection?

I am not sure who certifies it. You will see the analysis on the bag - but I dont know who does the certification. My non-certified seed comes from the farmer’s field to the grain bin at the feed store and they bag it on site. To be honest, Concerning certified vs. non-certified seed - I would be more concerned about the weed seed content than the germination rate - and as a food plotter, I am not even that concerned about weeds. Non certified wheat seed spilled in the back of my ranger was growing yesterday until I cleaned it out this morning

Yeah, I’m not really worried about any certifications either. I was just wondering what the difference was and why it was cheaper. I think I’ll try to get some regular non-certified seed.
