MDHA Food Plot Seed program discount

[Mark Christianson]

We in the West Metro Chapter of the MDHA(MN Deer Hunters Assc) have the Food Plot seed program available again this year.

The past 2 years I have promoted this program on FM, and its been a hit to say the least.

We use money raised from the Hides for Habitat program, and subsidize the cost of the seed in order to make it more attractive for people to get involved in planting plots for wildlife.

Regular prices if purchased directly from MDHA are:

Wildlife Blend" - $83.75/25 lb bag $34.75/10 lb bag

"Clover Blend" - $69.75/25 lb bag $29.75/10 lb bag

"Annual Blend"- $93.75/25 lb bag $38.75/10 lb bag

Prices through the West Metro Chapter:

"Wildlife Blend" - $45/25 lb bag $20/10 lb bag

"Clover Blend" - $35/25 lb bag $15/10 lb bag

"Annual Blend"- $50/25 lb bag $20/10 lb bag

If you would like some basic info on the blends go to:

You do not need to be a member of the West Metro Chapter, nor do you need to be an MDHA member at all. But I ask that if you take advantage of this offer, that you consider joining. The money saved on the seed will easily cover an annual membership.

If you sign up before 6/1/06, you go into a drawing for an Arctic Cat ATV and other prizes. In addition, if you sign up, we have a seperate drawing for a print from the West Metro Chapter.

I will not ship seed. I work in Maple Grove, live in Big Lake, and spend a gob of time in the Battle Lake area. Any of the 3 places is an option to pick up the seed. I cant promise I will be in any of the 3 locations to easily get it distributed, but I will do my best to get seed to you as soon as I can personally do it. This is a big effort, and interest in plots is growing immensely. Depending on the interest levels, we may have to cut off the sale at some point. Not likely, but we have to watch closely how much "subsidizing" we can do out of our chapter.

Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested.

I am getting the first shipment of seed in the next week.

Most of it is spoken for, so if you are interested, check out the main post and let me know if you are interested.

[Mark Christianson]

I've got a truckload of seed as of today, so those of you that ordered, I will be contacting you tomorrow for arrangements to get the seed to you.

Lots available for those interested.

[Mark Christianson]

Anyone else need seed? Lots available.

You dont need to be a farmer to get this stuff to grow.

Most of all its very fun to do.

[Mark Christianson]

The time is getting near.

I have only a few bags of 25lb left.

Plenty of 10 lb bags.

These mixes will cover roughly 10lbs per acre to give you an idea.

[Mark Christianson]

I have the next order of seed coming soon.

Shoot me an email if you are in need of some seed for cheap!

[Mark Christianson]

I have some seed left if anyone else is interested.

See details above.

My plots are smokin' right now. This weekend I plan to do some spraying to knock back the grasses and mow my clover.

I won't be ordering any more seed this year, so what I have left is it. I have mainly clover and annual blend.

[BLACKJACK]

I'd encourage people to try some of these blends, I've tried them all and the deer will use them all. Now is a perfect time to start working up a new spot for a late July planting of the annual mix or an August planting of the two clover mixes. And the 1/2 off price can't be beat!!! Plus Mark needs to get some of this out of his garage so he has room to store my seed!!!!

I will take a 25#LB bag of clover blend and a10# bag of wildlife if there is any left. let me know, I can pick it up whenever. thanks

[Mark Christianson]

Shoot me an email.

I know I have a 25# clover, but I think I am out of 10# wildlife. I could be wrong.

I am leaving town in minutes and wont be back until Friday.

We can hook up after that.

PS - The wildlife blend is basically a mix of the clover blend and annual blends. If I am out of the 10# wildlife blend, you could get a 10 lb annual and mix it with some of the clover.

[Mark Christianson]

Here is whats left:

10 - 25lb Annual

9 - 10lb Annual

3 - 25lb Wildlife

4 - 25 lb clover

8 - 10 lb clover

[Mark Christianson]

Last call on seed. Here is whats left.

4 - 10lb clover

4 - 25lb Annual

2 - 10lb annual

There is still time to plan for a late summer/early fall planting.

BLB:

Any chance on buying the seed for next year? Will it keep? How to keep?

[Mark Christianson]

I have seed that I have had for over 2 years. Well, its in the ground now, but I had some leftover from 2004.

Keep it in a cool, dry place. And somewhere the mice wont get to it.

[Pistol Pete]

I just plante some old seed last week. Some of it was 4 years old. It all grew. Kept the old seed on one end just in case it didn't come up so I could replant. Can't tell the new seed from the old.

[DOAducks]

BLB- I planted the seed I got from you and I was wondering if there is a guarantee that I will shoot a monster this season, If not I appreciate you letting me hunt over your plots. That was very nice of you . Thanks again for the seed I will let you know how it turns out for me. thanks

[Mark Christianson]

I personally gaurantee you will shoot a trophy for the wall.
