I need to get some clover, oats, rape, and rye grass for our fall plots. Anyone have good info on prices/places near Alabaster? Thanks!

mid state farmers coop be prepared for a shock on the rye

My father was looking at rye on the gulf coast, said prices were through the roof. On a side note, I called Whitetail Institute asking about some seed and the customer service staff sold me seed in size quantities not listed on their website (2-4 lb range, cheaper than the big bags- didn't need as much). They have great customer service!

I need oats and rye grass tho...seems like each year planting plots get more expensive!

Universal or central seed both just outside Bham. Cereal rye (not rye grass) was 21ish a bag.

Check with Coosa Valley milling in Wilsonville. I have no idea their prices but when I hunted that area we would get seed there.

Check the co-op store in Columbiana.

How much are you needing? The ACE hardware in Helena has advertised they have some, probably pricey but closer than Columbiana.

And Nichols in Pelham sells Buck Buster I believe.

Co-op in Coumbiana or if your up this way. Thrashers in Bessemer.

Go out 26 to the T with 70 and go left onto 70. The co-op is on the left before the RR tracks. Lots of seed mixes down there.

None of my business, but you couldn't pay me to plant ryegrass in a food plot. Deer will eat it if they have no other choice but its not preferred. The main reason I avoid it is that you will never get rid of it and over time it gets dominant and will choke out grains that you plant with it.
I've been battling ryegrass in food plots that was planted in pastures 15 years ago
and it's still winning

I agree

Thrasher's is my go to. But, their prices are up from last year. If my math is right Alabama Blend and Deer Magnet are almost $10 more this year than last.

So no rye grass? We used the feed grade type, not yard type if that makes sense...I never really thought about it choking out grains. Doesn't it just die with the heat after hunting season?

You have to spray it to kill it before it seeds out or it will create a seed bank that you will have to deal with for years. Its a gift that keeps on giving. Oats, wheat, rye, triticale are a much better choice in my opinion.

The oldest son and I went there last weekend. That’s a neat store. Definitely worth checking out.
