FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Alabama Waterfowl Association's Conservation Seed Program is in Full
Swing

As many know seed wheat  this fall is at a premium if you can even find it.
Many wildlife managers plant feed wheat which is controversial and does not
provide the germination and can introduce many noxious weeds into the
planting area.  Alabama Waterfowl Association (AWA) is working with Resource
Management, Inc., Pioneer Hi-Bred International Seed Company and Dean's Farm
Supply near Hollywood to offer seeds for the planting of wildlife food plots
at a fraction of the cost of other suppliers.  This is the surplus treated
seeds left over from supplies and have proven to provide a good stand while
not introducing noxious weeds to the area. 

Since 1995 AWA by subsidizing private landowners, farmers and wildlife
managers has distributed enough of these surplus seeds to plant over 750,000
acres in Alabama. 

Right now you can get this seed wheat for $5 a 50-pound bag. A limited
supply is available so call Dean's Farm Supply at 256  574-1112 before you
come.
