Holy crud Native seed is expensive!

[mmlreiner]

Picked up some native seed for the ranch for after the dozer does its work next week. For one acre it costs $223. Its $19.75/lb and takes ten lbs to seed one full acre. Goodness. Seeing we expect to doze about 20-30 acres I’ll go broke before seeding it all. Just going to have to seed lightly and hope I can seed more as we go along lol.

See if you qualify and let the government pay for it

That would be us, right ?

Might not need to seed it at all, depending on whether or not you thing the native seed bank is depleted.

Yeah it's high. We looked at a native mix that would work well at our place and it was $23/lb and 5lbs per acre.

You still have to pay for it up front and get riembursed.

Might look at Klein depending on your area. Think its 11 dollars a lb., 3lbs to the acre.

It is per the biologist in certain areas. With all the cedar the root system just isn’t there so I’m helping it along.

Who’s Klein? I’m in Kerr county and I got mine from wild seed in Fredericksburg.

For the PUB program, you not need to pay up front. The seed and herbicide are provided for you.

Don’t plant Klein, it causes toxicity in a horse’s liver and none native. Has zero point value for any CRP program.

I was thankful for the link to the seed company. I have no desire to plant anything non native. But his link is helpful.
