Default A source for seed for field crops

Some time ago there were some quesitons asked about where to purchase
small quantities of seed for grains and grasses. There are all kinds
of local suppliers throughout the corn belt for these seeds, but most
of them (including the one we use) really are not set up for mail
order.

I got a new catalog today from a place that mostly sells full bags
(generally 50 pounds) of seed but that says they are happy to weigh
out and ship smaller orders for a nominal extra charge. They carry
wheat, oats, barley, and the other small grains, grasses, legumes,
some wildflowers, and a discount brand of corn and soybeans. And a few
other things, really a pretty full lineup. For some varieties they
have both organic and regular. Their prices are much more reasonable
than Johnny's and the other vegetable seed places. They have an
online catalog at http://www.alseed.com

Now I have not purchased anything from them and don't know a thing
about them except that their catalog came in the mail, so it's not
like I'm endorsing them or anything. Caveat emptor.

Happy growing

If you're just looking for ordinary seeds, this site sells organic
cheaper and in smaller quantities.

http://www.waltonfeed.com

I haven't checked the prices lately, but what i pay for a bushel (60
lbs) of wheat (untreated, cleaned and bagged) (not organic) at my local
feedstore is about $5.
