I've been searching around looking for a source for some Egyptian Wheat and I came across Seed Ranch. They seem to offer a huge variety of seed options and in an even wider range of weights than even the manufacturer. On top of that, they have free shipping, which has always been my hang-up for buying seed online. I went ahead and ordered 20lbs of Egyptian Wheat, so I'll let you know how the transaction turns out. http://www.seedranch.com/default.asp Has anyone else used them?
If I wanted EW or a mixture that had it for screening I'd get PastorAndrew's from the forum here. Dude's got good good seed. I know he's distributed some before...not sure if he still is.
Looked at some of their prices. Kind of high (you're paying for shipping in that price). But it's nice to see you can buy all insecticides/weed killer/seeds all at one place.
I actually found the priced to be pretty decent. 2 years ago I bought a 50lb bag of EW from Hummert Seed, which is local here, and it cost me over $100 after shipping. I bought some Tecomate Monster Mix this weekend from Cabela's for $49.99 plus tax and Seed Ranch has it for $52.50 shipped. Clearly you are paying for shipping, but most sites tack about $20 bucks on for shipping per shipment, so if you take that into account, I payed $20 for shipping and only $30 for 20lbs of Egyptian Wheat.
Very true. I was looking at their Whitetail Institue seed to be specific. I liked the fact they were willing to sell 1/4 acre of WI clover. But as I calculated they were charging $19 roughly per pound while BassPro (only can by per 4lbs or greater) shared around $10.5. But again, this site is willing to sell for smaller food plotters, which is extremely nice for folks like me.
We have it in 4 pound bags fairly cheap. It works great as a screen and especially as a poacher deterrent.
I buy most of my stuff from from a local seed/fertilizer dealer. I buy a lot of other stuff from Greencoverseed.com and the rest of it from seedland.com.
Thanks for the info, I just checked out Greencoverseed.com, and they look to be reasonably priced and have a large selection. I may have to give them a try too.
For anyone around the Ohio area, Merit Seed has a great selection. When I mix my own I order from them. They have a nice selection of pre mixed seeds also. http://www.meritseed.com/Wildlife-Food-Plot-Store-s/100.htm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have been in the business for 24 years and started my own company yesterday to help raise money for youth hunting and education. Egyptian wheat supplies are as tight as ever. I do have some stached away but i prefer people use a blend with forage sorghum, millet and grain sorghum for their cover or screening needs.
